Faith Weaver Friends

Faith Weavers will take place every Wednesday evening from 5:15PM-6:45PM as long as school is in session, or otherwise announced. Just a reminder, although it is typically our policy to cancel Faith Weavers classes when the public school cancels on a particular Wednesday, there may be a few instances where we still hold class despite a public school cancelation. That being said, it is even more important than ever to check for updates through formal letters, emails, Facebook post, and announcements in church for the latest information, especially as we are trying to do a few new and exciting things with our Faith Weavers program this year. 

If your child is between Kindergarten and 6th grade, please consider having them join us for another year of faith building, fun, and fellowship! Parents can find more information and register below. 

For families planning to take part, students should typically plan to enter through the church narthex each week, wait to be dismissed for the meal at, or quickly around, 5:15PM, and then head into the gym for the opening meal. Students will then progress through our scheduled activities, and Faith Weavers classes will conclude at 6:45PM. It is our preference that all parents/guardians pick up their children inside the church each week, so that way we know they are going home with the correct individuals. 

Thank you, and we hope to see you soon! 

As this weekly event is dependent on the teamwork of volunteers and supporters, we are once again putting out the call for assistance. If you feel called to help this year by serving in some capacity, week to week, please contact Kim Baumann, Suzie Wachter, or Mr. Jareske (402-329-4313) in the near future. Volunteers can be 7th grade and older. 

We are still looking for individuals to assist with our various stations, cooking meals, and helping with serving the meals, without cooking. For cooking, you would only need to cook about once a month, but you do need to be able to manage a simple meal for, about, 80 people. If you believe that you might be able to help in one of these ways, please let us know as soon as possible. 

For more information, please contact Mr. Jareske to inquire. 

If you would be interested in donating to support this program, included below is a list of some requested food items. As always, your support and encouragement is greatly appreciated as we look forward to seeing as many students as possible at Faith Weavers this fall!   

Please put non-perishable donations in the marked bin in the kitchen with a note (from who, for who) and alert church staff about your donation. Cold items should be put in the refrigerator, and frozen items should be placed in the freezer. For more information, contact Mr. Jareske.
