VISION STATEMENT OF FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH

We, the people of First Lutheran Church will "Put Christ First" in all that we do. We will

  • strive to grow as individuals and as a congregation through constant prayer-seeking God's will.
  • offer ourselves in joyful service to God and to the world which God loves reaching out in love as a cheerful response to God's grace.
  • tell the story of God's redeeming love through Jesus Christ--spreading the "good news" by what we say and do.

 

 

Gardening Group

     This is a group of Women and Men from the congregation who come together to plant flowers around the building. Every time you look at the building you can feel the love that has been put into making it so pretty for all to see.

Shepherd Ministry

  The objective of the Shepherd Ministry is to develop a friendly, caring, nurturing relationship between shepherds and their assigned memebers through regular contact. This could include phone calls, birthday cards, words of encouragement or congratulations, an ear to listen or shoulder to lean upon. It is a simple on-going reaching out to each other so no FLC member "falls through the cracks," Through their regular contacts, shepherds strive to provide care, concern and supportive nurturing that greatly benefits our church family.
