Church Garage Sale

yardsale_2776cThe annual Church Garage Sale is on Fri-Sat, May 7th & 8th. Many people have volunteered to help but we still need a few coordinators and enclosed trailers to store things ahead of time and canopies to put up in the parking lot in the event there is rain! Sign up to help on the sign up sheet in the narthex or give us a call at the church office 907-452-3425. See April TableTalk Newsletter for more details on the garage sale.

A great time was had by all on the celebration of  Fairbanks Lutheran Church’s 65th anniversary. Our Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 celebration worship service and potluck luncheon was attended by many current and past friends. Many of those not able to attend sent their greetings and reflections on our history along with pictures.

Thank you to all who helped make our celebration memorable!

We were able to worship in the SuperDome with over 38,000 other people who attended this gathering. The speakers were inspirational, a favorite song was “I get down and He lifts me up!”
