A FEW WORDS FROM PASTOR CROSS…
Believe it or not, the Bible has a great deal to say about saying farewell.
Take Jesus for example, his final instructions to his disciples are sort of
legendary in the church. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold,
I am with you always, to the end of the age,” Matthew 28:19-20. In John
20:21 Jesus said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I
am sending you.” And in still another place (Acts 1:6-8) we read, “So when
they had come together, they asked him, ‘Lord, will you at this time restore
the kingdom to Israel? He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or
seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the
earth.’” And if that were not enough there is the whole 21st chapter of John.
To some degree it makes it a little confusing as to exactly what Jesus’ final
words were to his disciples. Maybe this is a function of a long good-bye. In
any case, these passages share a common theme…farewell with Jesus is not
farewell, but an instruction to go into the mission field and be busy about the
work of the kingdom.
Paul had to say farewell a lot as well. His final farewell to the Corinthian
church is quite to the point, “Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways,
heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love
and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints
greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all,” 2 Corinthians 13:11-14, RSV.
Another good farewell from Paul is found in Philippians 1:27, “Only let your
manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and
see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one
spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel….” But
perhaps my favorite farewell from the Bible, is Paul’s farewell to the elders
of the church as Ephesus recorded in Acts 20:17-36. I won’t reproduce it
here, rather I would encourage you to read it for yourselves. It’s quite
sobering and reminds believers to be on their guard and continue in the core
message of, “repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
If I might borrow a sentiment from the Bible’s farewells, it would be the
love that they express and the partnership in the gospel. First, foremost, and
always, the mission of Christ is about these two things. God’s richest and
best to you all.

NEWS
We ware thrilled to be back at school after the Christmas
Holidays but can’t believe that we are halfway through the school year!
Mrs. Candi and Ms. Sherri’s Mother’s Morning Out Class had fun learning
about winter. They studied snowmen and penguins, learned a cute “penguin
walk,” and made “snow” winter paintings. They read the Gingerbread Man and
made gingerbread cookies—yum yum! The children enjoyed White Day. They
wore white clothing and ate all white snacks—coconut water, vanilla yogurt, and
white chocolate pretzels to help identify the color.
February
Birthdays
14 Jonathan Andrews
Mrs. Beasely’s Three-Day Class studied winter weather and made snowy
paintings and snowflakes. The children began the Sound Table Game and had
fun learning the letter L. To help reinforce the letter sound, they made Little
Lamb pictures and Leaf rubbings.
14 Richie Harrington
Mrs. Neuman and Mrs Stollewerk’s Five-Day Class units were winter
weather, Arctic animals, and hibernation. Making polar bears with their version
of “fur” was a big hit with the children. (Try mixing shaving cream with glue—
it is so cool!) The much anticipated Sound Table Game began with the study of
the letter L. Everywhere you looked there were activities and manipulatives to
introduce the letter L: lacing, Legos, and Lincoln Logs to name a few. The
children were brave and tasted new foods that began with L at snack time. A
special celebration was held for the 10th Anniversary of the book Llama Llama
Red Pajama. The children came to school in their pjs and had fun creating
llamas during art and eating llama biscuits.
17 Glen Patteson
Both the Three and Five Day teachers have been busy with student
evaluations. Parent / teacher conferences will be scheduled soon, and these
evaluations will be reviewed with parents.
Chapel is always a special time for the children. We learned about Jesus as a
Boy, Jesus in the Temple, and Let the Little Children Come to Me. We always
enjoy our visits to Chapel.
Preschool Registration
Registration for Faith members and returning
students will open February 1 st and run through
the month of February. Please remember to submit
the $125.00 deposit to Director Sharon Stollewerk
to reserve a spot for your child. Registration will
open to the general public in March. For more
information please call 379 -7074.

The Social Concerns Committee continues to sponsor the Item of the Month

Please bring your donations through February 28th and place them in the basket
in the Narthex marked Christian Cupboard. Items of the month for the next two
months are as follows: March, canned beans, and April, canned fruit. Faith’s
members have always been wonderful supporters of the Christian Cupboard, and
the Social Concerns Committee thanks you for your continued generosity. You
have helped us make the Item of the Month Food Drive a success!
New Monday Morning Prayer Group
Anyone interested in participating in a new prayer group is invited to meet on
Monday mornings at 6:50 AM in the small kitchen for coffee and donuts with
prayer to begin at 7:00 AM. The focus of this prayer group will be to pray for

agenda-setting and council meetings for the month.
Highlights from the January Council Meeting:

The Church Council is in the process of securing pulpit supply pastors to
begin performing worship services the first week of February.

The Council has initiated the search for an Intentional Interim Pastor.

Social Concerns Committee to Sponsor
San Antonio Food Bank Distribution
Faith’s Social Concerns Committee has partnered with the San Antonio Food
Bank to distribute food to approximately 150 - 200 Seguin and Guadalupe
County residents. The committee is seeking volunteers who are willing to
lend a hand on Saturday, March 7th, from 9:30 AM to12:30 PM. Volunteers
will be tasked with unloading boxes of food from a refrigerated Food Bank
truck, breaking down boxes, and/or putting individual food items into bags
that will then be placed in trunks of cars in a drive-through line in the east
parking lot.
Anyone interested in helping should look for the sign-up sheet on the kiosk
in the narthex. Response to the initial announcement was good; however, 10
or 12 more people are still needed. Please consider volunteering your time
for this worthy community service project. If you are unable to help in
March, save the date of Saturday, June 6th, because that is when a second
distribution day has been scheduled.
Lenten Season Schedule Announced
The season of Lent is right around the corner with Ash Wednesday falling on
February 18th. All the evening worship services will begin at 7:00 PM. This
includes Ash Wednesday, midweek Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and
Good Friday worship services. The Wednesday night Lenten meals will be
served beginning at 5:30 in the LEC. You are invited each Wednesday
during Lent to gather for supper and worship as we prepare our hearts and
minds and look to the cross during the 40 days of Lent.
Regular Wednesday night activities will temporarily change schedule during
Lent. Beginning February 18th the Handbells will practice at 5:30 PM, and
the Chancel Singers will practice immediately following midweek worship.

Sunday School is back in full swing for the new year. We started the year
with sandbox stories by Diana Ball and a craft by Vicki Bierstedt. Both of
these activities reinforced the 10 Commandments for the children. Parents
are encouraged to keep the children’s craft projects and to allow them to
refer to it throughout the month.
We have some exciting lessons and activities planned in February. Please
join us each Sunday at 10:30 AM for class. Remember to bring a friend!
A reminder to parents...there is NO SUPERVISION for your children until
10:30! Please keep your children with you after church until you walk them
to the choir room for class.
If you have not turned in your time and talent sheet (or if you did and
weren't sure what to mark) and would like to help with Sunday School or
any other aspect of Parish Education, please notify the church office or

From Faith…to Faith
The 1890 Zion Lutheran Church was
recently restored and moved to its
current location as part of the village at
the Texas Agricultural Education and
Heritage Center on Cordova Road.
In 1952 a Bible was purchased by
Faith Lutheran church of Bellaire,
Texas. In 1966 this Bible was given
to the new mission congregation in
Seguin also known as Faith
Lutheran Church. Having been used
for over 64 years, the Bible’s
binding was broken and difficult to
handle. A new Bible was recently
given to us as a memorial gift.
Therefore, on February 27th this
original Bible, which was used in
Faith’s first worship service held at
Seguin High School, will be given to
the recently restored 1890 Zion
Lutheran Church, located in the
Pioneer Village at the Texas
Agricultural Educational and
Heritage Center on Cordova Road.
February 27th marks the first day of
Faith’s 50th year. This will be one of
the “Fifty Projects in Fifty Weeks”
included in the Faith on Tour events
to celebrate the anniversary.
