Reformation Festival Oct. 30 At Faith Lutheran Church

This is the 20th anniversary of the cooperative ministry known as the Tri-County Cooperative Ministries (TCCM) in which a group of five churches work together with shared staff. You are invited to the Annual Reformation Festival on Sunday, Oct. 30 sponsored by the Tri-County Cooperative Ministries serving communities and churches in Colorado, Lavaca and Fayette Counties. This year’s event is hosted by Faith Lutheran Church, 615 South Eagle Street, Weimar.

The festival begins at 4 p.m. which will include inspirational music by the group Kist by Grace; a meal of sausage, sauerkraut, potatoes, and dessert (with additional side dishes); worship and great fellowship. The meal is “dine in only” for attendees and tickets are $5 each. There will also be activities for adults (such as dominoes, corn hole, horse shoes) and for children (a nice playground area on premises).

Pastor Herb Beyer, Lead Pastor for TCCM commented: “This is not a fundraising event. It is intended to draw people of our area together for Christian fellowship, to hear inspirational music and messages that encourage us in our faith and life, to celebrate our heritage and the cultures of our various communities, to witness to our oneness in Christ, to give thanks for the blessings God has entrusted to us, and to pray for the many who are struggling in our nation and look forward to the future with hope.”

All are welcome to attend but should obtain or reserve meal tickets ahead of time. Festival begins at 4 p.m. with the music of Kist by Grace. Pastor Herb Beyer will preach and preside at the service. This year’s theme is “Bringing Unity to the Community – Celebrating our Faith, Family and Friends.”

“Come join us as we celebrate Jesus Christ and His amazing gift of salvation through God’s grace and mercy”, said Kist by Grace cofounder Debra Gayle.
