Faith Weaver Friends

School has begun for all students, and so it is now, officially, time to start thinking about joining us for another year of Faith Weaver Friends at Zion Lutheran Church! Faith Weavers will begin on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025, and it will take place every Wednesday evening from 5:15PM-6:45PM as long as school is in session, or otherwise announced. Just a reminder, if the public school cancels for any reason on a particular Wednesday, Faith Weavers will be likewise canceled for that evening.

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.

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. We have several volunteers who have put in many years of faithful service, and although no one has expressed interest in moving out of their current role, adding a group of new volunteers would be beneficial to the continued success of this ministry. Even if you would be willing to substitute for one of our group leaders from time to time to get started, this would be greatly appreciated. Volunteers can be 7th grade and older.  

We are currently looking several new volunteers who would be able to assist in the kitchen with cooking this year, several volunteers who might like to help by serving the meal, without cooking, and several volunteers who might like to assist with our various stations. 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 year!   

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.
