Organist – Martha Hall
 |
My name is Martha Hall. I serve Faith as organist
for the Sunday morning traditional service as well as for
seasonal and special services. I plan the traditional
service and special music for it, such as including
instrumentalists to play along with the organ during hymns or
musical selections. I also enjoy picking choral music and
accompanying singers from soloist and duets to quartets and
choirs in these services. My goal is to pick meaningful
music that reflects the Scripture readings for each Sunday to
praise and worship our Lord.
I have been blessed with a wonderful family--my husband
and our two boys. I love to read and study my
Bible. I also enjoy sporting activities such as
volleyball, biking, hiking, aerobics, water sports and
more. Traveling and exploring new places, playing cards,
chess, and ping pong are some of my other interests.

Secretary – Debbie Houck
 |
Hi, my name is Debbie Houck.
For the past 25 years, I have been a member of Faith
Lutheran Church, thankful for the opportunity to call Faith not
only my Church Home, but more importantly, my Church
Family. I feel very thankful to have the opportunity to
serve God through my church, and in turn, do my part to impact
our community. I believe that every day is a fresh
opportunity from God to share His Good News with others.
I pray that I can use this opportunity to grow spiritually in
my journey with God, and also, in turn, further this blessing
by helping others along the way.
My husband and I have been married for 36 years; we enjoy
spending time with our children and grandchildren.
If you are looking for a church home, we welcome you to
stop by and visit us here at Faith Lutheran.
