Faith Lutheran Church - Oakville
This is the Bible: How to Read it, Pastor Chris Sommer
While almost 90% of America owns a Bible, with the average household having 4.4 Bibles, about half of the population has never read it or has only seldom done so. Even within the Christian population, almost 1 in 5 churchgoers say they never read the Bible—essentially the same number who read it every day. So as a church we thought it would be a good time to talk about “How to Read the Bible.”

http://faithstl.org/prayer-request/Ways To Give
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
