Standing in the Need of Prayer

Church of the Indian Fellowship is in need of your prayers. We are working with our Synod office in Seattle and the Puyallup Tribal Council in Tacoma to assist this congregation with much needed financial relief. The blessings of God continue at this 134 year old church most recently when we added five new members to our Family on November 14th, one through the sacrament of Baptism. We have a couple, Diane and David Norman, who are ready to become members and another preparing to take our New Member's class. The vitality of these brothers and sisters in Christ will enrich the church as God leads us in his work. At this time of faith-building events in the life of the congregation, I am reminded of the old Gospel hymn entitled, "Living By Faith."

"I care not today what tomorrow may bring, if shadow or sunshine or rain. The Lord I know rules or' everything and all of my worry is vain. Living by faith in Jesus above. Trusting confiding in his great love. From all harm safe in his sheltering arms. I'm living by faith and feel no alarm."

Thank you for the prayers and thank you for taking the time to read this blog.

Ministry News - Christmas Activities

Thanksgiving Day is over and now we enter the season of Advent, the four weeks preceeding Christmas Day. The Session (otherwise known as the Board) of the Church has set the activities for this year: Monthly Dinner & A Movie is on Sunday, the 12th of December at 6 pm. We begin with a potluck dinner then show the movie at 6:30 pm. The movie is "Christmas in the Clouds" and is set in a tribal ski resort featuring Native American actors and theme. Our children will be practicing for the annual Christmas Program to be held on Sunday, December 19th at 2 pm after the annual Christmas Potluck dinner. The Festival of Candles and Carols will be on Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24th at 6 pm. We hope that many will be able to take in these events during the Christmas season at Church of the Indian Fellowship. You may contact me at (253) 840-2533 for more information.
