WELCOME

Welcome to Prairie Faith Shared Ministry. Located in north central Kansas, six ELCA Lutheran congregations have stepped out in faith to enter into a truly shared ministry. We strive to provide the best tools for our members to grow as disciples of Christ and to proclaim the Good News of Christ within our communities and throughout the world. We hope you will join us at one of our churches for service on Sunday to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ.

FIRST COMMUNION CLASS

Once again it is time for our 1st Communion Class. This year’s class will be held from 9:00 a.m.—11:30 a.m., Saturday, October 22, 2016 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The class will be open to all 5th graders and their families, but we extend an invitation to anyone (of any age) who wants to refresh, renew, or broaden their understanding of the Lord’s Supper.

This class would be a great review for people who are already receiving the Lord’s Supper, as well as those who are contemplating doing so. It will be taught by Pastor Randy, Pastor Jon and Intern Allie.

REFORMATION SUNDAY

This year’s celebration will be a joint worship service to be held at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in WaKeeney on October 30, 2016. Services will begin at 10:30 a.m. followed by a potluck dinner.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

Cooler weather is approaching, as well as longer evenings inside the house now that autumn has arrived and it gets dark earlier. If you know how to sew, knit or crochet, why not consider making a prayer shawl for someone in the community who may be experiencing a difficult time in their life? They may have received a serious medical diagnosis, be experiencing depression, may have recently lost a family member or friend and are grieving, or may be going through a life change such as divorce or separation from family. As you make your prayer shawl, you may pray for the specific person who will receive it—or if the recipient is unknown—you may pray for the whole general community of persons who are experiencing dark times in their lives. There is prayer shawl information on the PFSM website, or you may contact the PFSM office or Gail Jensen at 785.656.2329.
