Rides to Faith
Free rides will be available to Faith Lutheran Church’s Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Dec. 24, and to all 10:15 a.m. church services on Sundays thereafter.
Jan Haselhuhn, chairman of the church’s board of evangelism, said that the parish planning committee voted to provide the rides as a service to people who are unable to drive to the church or find alternative transportation.
For more information, or to arrange a ride to the church, call Haselhuhn at 342-5243 or the church office, 342-3590.
The church is located at West 15th Avenue and Trail Ridge Road.
