FAITH BLIND OUTREACH
It is believed that ninety-five percent of all blind and visually impaired people do not attend church. There are various reasons for this, including lack of transportation, extreme isolation and previous negative church going experiences. In an effort to address these issues, Faith Lutheran Church, Waterloo, has developed Faith Blind Outreach. We have begun serving a lunch to the blind and visually impaired and their caretakers, with intention of learning more about their needs and challenges, and providing an atmosphere of trust and openness so that Christ may be proclaimed. These efforts are already leading to requests to inquiries about membership and opportunities to catechize the unbaptized.
We request your prayers as we go forward, that we might continue to locate, serve and witness to those isolated and separated from the love of Christ.
FAITH REFORMATION PARTY
Faith Lutheran Church, Waterloo held a chili supper and a screening of the Luther film on October 30th. Over seventy people came and dined on delicious homemade chili, and enjoyed the opportunity to view a film depicting our Lutheran heritage with their fellow redeemed. Many in attendance said they learned a great deal they didn't know, and several developed new questions and curiosity about doctrinal positions we hold. It was a great opportunity to celebrate our faith and the deep roots we have in the history of Christendom.
