Jim and Sandy Rasmussen had an open Christmas dinner at their home this year. Anyone who had no place to go for dinner was invited. They would like to thank everyone for coming. They plan to do this next year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Faith Community to Open Fitness Center
The Faith Horizons group has seen an interest in promoting better health for our community. For a starting block the committee would like to open a small fitness center for the community to use. Memberships will be available at a minimal cost with all proceeds going towards building a large fitness center for everyone to use and enjoy. We are asking for assistance from the community members to donate equipment for the fitness center. The center will be available flexible hours for your use. For more information or to donate a piece of equipment for the fitness center please contact: The City of Faith at 605-967-2261 or Sandy Rasmussen 967-2585.
After noticing that not all the kids at school didn’t have caps and mittens they felt an urge to help. The Bethel Lutheran youth group, grades 6-12, collected winter hats, scarfs, mittens, and gloves for both children and adults and presented them to the Faith Community Action Team (CAT) on December 12, 2007. The students felt that this was just one way to help the less fortunate in our community. Great Job Guys!!!
A group of people saw a need for some of the local children. To answer the call of helping others, a group of citizens have set up an angel tree during this holiday season. Any person can take an angel from the tree which has an age and sex of a child. They then purchase a gift and bring the unwrapped package to the City Office or Chamber. At this time, most of the gifts have already been wrapped and delivered. The great thing about this project is that the community members can give to the less-fortunate without making anyone uncomfortable about accepting help. That is one of the reasons that this community is awesome to live in!
On December 17th, 2007 the community of Faith gathered at the school gym for a delightful evening of entertainment. From the preschool to the high school, the music students from Faith School sang, danced, and played their instruments to familiar and enjoyable Christmas songs. Everything from “Silent Night” to “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” was appealing to all ages. Great job to Mrs. Wicks and the music students!
