GLOW/RISE Weekly Update - 09.21.26
A GREAT START TO OUR NEW EDUCATION YEAR!
What a wonderful start to our new GLOW and RISE education year! We started with “Ignite the Light Sunday,” followed by our Bible Presentation Sunday and then a special Fire Department Tour. We started strong, and it is all thanks to our students, families, teachers, and volunteers who helped make these first couple of Sundays together so special.
We are especially excited to celebrate the 16 students who received their Bibles during worship this past Sunday. Congratulations to:
Pre-K: Colten, Keegan, Thomas
3rd Grade: Tobias, Logan, Sawyer, Claire, Paxton, Sophia, Leo
6th Grade: Eve, Charlotte, Madeline, Hunter, Breeleigh, Ronald
We pray that these Bibles will be a meaningful part of each student's faith journey as they continue to learn God's Word and grow in faith.
A special thank-you as well to the parents, teachers, and volunteers who helped with our Marshfield Fire Department tour. We appreciate everyone who helped make this opportunity possible for our students. It was a great chance to learn more about our local firefighters, the important work they do, and how they serve our community.
LOOKING AHEAD
We are already moving into a busy and exciting part of our education year! There is a lot happening at Faith Lutheran Church in the weeks ahead, including:
Be sure to keep an eye on the Education calendar and watch for updates throughout the year. We are looking forward to all the opportunities ahead to learn together, grow in faith, build friendships, and share God's love.
If you ever have questions about GLOW, RISE, upcoming events, or anything happening with Education & Family Ministries, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We can't wait to see everyone this Sunday!

Confirmation Class | September 23 | 5:45 PM | Upper Room
We will provide a light supper for Confirmation students, including items such as cheese, crackers, sausage, vegetables, and other snacks.
If you would like to contribute something, please let me know what you are planning to bring so we can make sure we have a good variety and don't end up with too much of one item.
We also understand that sports schedules can make arrival difficult. If your student will be arriving late, that's okay—just let us know ahead of time.

We are excited to begin preparing for this year's Christmas Program, which will be held on Saturday, December 19 at 4:00 PM, with a potluck dinner following the program.
Speaking Parts
The October 4 practice will be specifically for students who have speaking parts in the Christmas Program. Additional practices will be scheduled as we get closer to the program, and more information about those practices will be shared with families.

Confirmation students are also welcome and encouraged to participate! If a confirmation student would like to have a speaking part, we would be excited to have them involved. Confirmation students who participate will also be able to receive service hours for their involvement in the Christmas Program.

Blessing of the Animals
Our annual Blessing of the Animals is coming up on Sunday, October 4, and we’d love for everyone in our Faith Lutheran family to participate!
Do you have a pet that you would like to share with the congregation? Send us a photo of your pet along with their name and breed, and we’ll include them in a special slideshow during worship on October 4.
This year, we will not be holding the Blessing of the Animals outdoors, so please do not bring your pets to worship. Instead, we’ll celebrate them through the photos you send in, giving our whole congregation an opportunity to see and celebrate the animals that are special to our families.
Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, rabbit, horse, or another beloved companion, we want to see them! We encourage everyone to participate and help us make this a joyful celebration of God’s creatures and the many ways they bring love and happiness into our lives.
Questions? Please reach out—we’d be happy to help!
Send your pet’s photo, name, and breed to familyed@faithmarshfield.com OR office@faithmarshfield.com by September 27th.
