Serve

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. ~Philippians 2:4

Children, Community, Outreach & Focus Groups

Healthy churches are filled with healthy volunteers! A brief peek into a Family Promise site, Children’s Programs site, or Sunday morning worship reveals this to be oh-so-true of First Lutheran. So many hands are needed to guarantee the success of FLC ministries; these many hands continue each week/month/year to create the foundation on which our ministries flourish.
