Faith talk Remember in prayer:
Sunday morning we celebrate the Baptism of Jada Joy Commeret, daughter of Chuck and Michelle, and the Profession of Faith of Sumte Thang.
Congratulations to Nate Sall and Sarah McClure who will be married this Saturday November 14th in Lebanon Indiana. Their home will be here in Holland.
Congratulations to Peggy Hudelson who will celebrate her 90th birthday on Saturday, November 21!
Kris Boetsma’s surgery went well this past week, and she is recovering at home.
Ruth Ann DeMaster, mother of Nate DeMaster, passed away this past week after a long battle with cancer. Services will take place in Ft. Myers, FL on Nov. 21. Please keep the DeMaster family in your prayers.
Please keep Bill Slager in your prayers as he has been admitted to Holland Hospital for some medical concerns.
Please continue in prayer for my grandson Isaac. He was born with two major heart defects, which have been surgically repaired. He is currently at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. Pray for Dan and Jess as they return home without him. Pray for healing of the heart and that he continues to improve and specifically that they (and Grandma) will be able to hold him soon. Right now, he has many tubes and IV'S that do not allow him to be picked up. Thank you so much for your prayers. Pam Cook
Marvin Keen, father of Bonnie and Terry DeJong and Barb and Karl Brink and grandfather of Michelle and Chuck Commeret and Julie and John Cornell, passed away on Wednesday morning, November 11.
Thank you Faith family for all the cards, meals, visits, financial support and countless prayers offered up on our behalf in the loss of our son-in-law, Jason Woolery, husband of our daughter Karen, and step-father of our grandson Raiden. With much faith we look to God for comfort, guidance, and a peace that passes all understanding in the weeks and months ahead. Dennis & Kathy Spoelman, Karen & Raiden Woolery
Deacons corner: The deacons are asking for non-perishable foods (that have not expired) for the Thanksgiving box distribution. We have blessed many families in the past and we need your help to do the same this year! Please bring your items to the table in the Fellowship Rm. By Sunday, Nov. 22.

HOLLAND HOSPITAL

geographical neighbors in a friendly and caring way,
through offering hospitality in the form of drinks and
snacks to workers, friends and family of people in the
ER.
COMMUNITY KITCHEN
Community Action House through Western seminary
runs a kitchen, which provides free meals for anyone
who needs it. A team from Faith will have the
opportunity to join whoever comes for breakfast and
then bless the kitchen by doing a detailed cleaning of
the kitchen.
BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES
As a church we are passionate about caring for
vulnerable children. We are partnering with Bethany
to provide stockings for children in foster care. We
will have the opportunity to write an encouraging card
and pack a stocking for children in foster care.
OUR FAITH SHUT INS
Small teams will package up cookies, and take
poinsettias and cards and visit our shut ins. They will
take time to sit with them, talk and pray with them.
GOOD SAM TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
This team will shop for and purchase supplies for
homeless people entering transitional housing. These
people often enter transitional housing with nothing.
We will provide supplies and write notes of
encouragement.
OUR NEIGHBORS
The team will deliver a little treat to our neighbors that
live around church. As these teams knock on doors,
leave a treat on the doorstep and walks the streets, they
will pray for the people that live around us.
OUR FAITH FAMILY
We are going to send three teams out to homes of
people from Faith who would be blessed by some
physical help and have specific needs.
HOLLAND FREE HEALTH CLINIC
Assisting clients with home projects who need
assistance.
PRAY
This team will stay and pray. We want to pray during
this event for the people of Faith church… for our
hearts to be filled by this act of worship. We want to
pray for the people that we meet, that they meet Jesus.
We want to pray for Faith church to be a place where
people feel welcome. So please consider staying and
praying.
Sign-up sheets are in the foyer following the service.
Any questions, please ask Rachel Baggech.
