​​What you need to do:

11:30 AM OUTDOOR COMMUNION SERVICE

(Weather Permitting)

We will celebrate the Eucharist on our back lawn using the best safety measures we know how.
Among other things, masks are required, everyone will bring their own chair, and we will all make sure that we
remain 6 feet apart. We may have music, but we will not sing. We have also thought about how to offer Communion
and sanitize surfaces. If you plan to attend - or wish to have communion delivered to your doorstop - please 
RSVP by the previous Saturday. In case of rain, we will cancel. Otherwise, bundle up, and the Holy Spirit will warm our hearts. 

​​Henri Nouwen writes that hospitality is providing a space for strangers to become friends, ​and for people to become themselves. 
While our building is not open at this time, we invite you to enjoy and experience our beautiful grounds
by walking our labyrinth, meditating in our Memorial Garden, or just sitting on a bench underneath our
​shade trees enjoying our beautiful flowers and the calming sounds of wind chimes..

​Each Fall, Bread for the World asks churches across the country to write letters urging Congress to support measures that address the causes of hunger and to provide the nutrition people need to survive and thrive. Their work has taken on greater urgency this year with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Click here for a FAQ sheet.

The topic of BFTW’s offering of letters in 2020 is “Better Nutrition, Better Tomorrow.” Holy Faith has participated in this campaign for many years, and will participate again this year. We invite you to join us.

After you have sent your letter, please email or text a quick note to Pastor Andrea (andrea@holy-faith-church.org) to let her know. Last year we sent 121 letters to lawmakers. The impact of our letters is magnified by the tens of thousands with congregations around the country sending letters.

​Merry Mailman Ministry
Remember cellulose-based Social Media—letters and cards sent through the US Post Office? A lot of the older folks in Saline and surroundings may not have access to Skype, Zoom, Facetime, et al, or may not have anyone to communicate with that way. But they all have access to snail mail, and there is something very touching about receiving an actual handwritten letter or card.

Jim Mangi is suggesting that Holy Faith folks undertake what we might call the Merry Mailman Ministry to reach out and make snail mail connections to some lonely, isolated folks. To learn more, click here
