Faith and Life -- a column from local faith leaders

Author: Courtesy of Stan Lattin

Once per week or so, Fallon’s faith leaders offer their thoughts on faith and life. Any church or faith community of any kind is welcome and encouraged to participate. If you have ideas for topics we should write about, or if you or your pastor or faith leader would like to participate, please call Pastor Dawn Blundell at Epworth UMC, 775-423-4714.

If you’d like to talk more about anything you read here, or if you would like prayer or a listening ear, we hope you will reach out to one of us. If you don’t already have a church home, you are invited to join us for worship, too! You’ll find contact information and worship times below.

This month, we are focusing on hope and where we find it. We would love your feedback! Where do you find hope? What does your own faith or religious tradition tell you about where to look for it?

 

Stephen Duarte, Parkside Bible Fellowship

I hope and pray that God would bring many to salvation through the proclamation of the good news of Christ's death on behalf of sinners. I hope and pray that God would convict people of their sin, that he would open their eyes to their dire need for Christ, and that they would place their faith in him alone for salvation. I hope and pray that God would purify the church to display the glories of his grace and mercy through the church. I hope and pray that Christians all over the world would grow in our resolve to preach, “…Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2)

 

Dawn Blundell, Epworth United Methodist Church

Senior Pastor

Worship Sunday mornings online at 9:30 am on Facebook Live and KVLV AM980

Oh, the list is LONG. I hope that we get a handle on Covid and can eat, talk, sing, hug, and worship together again safely. I hope that we learn to put away our electronics and our opinions more often and really see and hear and understand each other. I hope that we are so glad to be out that our local businesses thrive! I hope we take some real, substantive steps to make life better for people who can’t afford food, or medicine, or a safe place to live. I dearly hope that we all learn to recognize and accept what is true and reject what isn’t. And above all, I hope that Christian people grow to be the Light God calls us to be: Christ-centered and Jesus-led sources of real hope, love, and joy.

Comment author: EvaComment text: Grandpa, I find myself wondering about you every so often. I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking. Period.Comment publication date: 3/26/26, 10:38 AMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Charlene B JohnsonComment text: This post was released without letting the next of kin or family know first. I am Kelly’s sister, Charlene B Johnson and his daughter is Trisha Benjamin. The Fallon Tribal Police acted unconscionably by not notifying the family first. This is devastating for us especially after speaking a little bit with the officer handling the report and The Chief Juarez. Who refused to give me any further details or to at least let me know the FBI was notified and that they were investigating if my brothers death was foul play or not. My understanding is the FBI is called when a body is found. Tribal Chairwoman please do the family a solid and make sure the finding of my brother was due to suspicious circumstances.Comment publication date: 3/24/26, 1:55 PMComment source: Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe Reports Death Under InvestigationComment author: Nicole GalbraithComment text: Farren - I just saw that you aren’t here with us. I am completely in shock! I met you and hung out with you so many years ago with Jer, and Eden. I honestly can’t believe you are gone…..you were a wonderful human being, with a HUGE heart and soul. Hearing this makes my heart break! You are forever in our hearts, and I can say I feel blessed that I was able to know you! Rest easy sweet Farren xoxoComment publication date: 3/23/26, 12:30 PMComment source: Obituary- Farren Crossland
