Join us for our Lenten Study “Hand of the Lord” led by Pastor Jim. Hands are an overlooked, but central  part of our lives—whether tightening a bolt, crocheting, or typing on a computer, there is so much that we do with our hands. They can be used to heal or hurt, work or wreck, build or break, seize or surrender, etc. As the “hands of Christ” this series will give you some ways to better understand how Jesus used His hands so that we can better use ours to serve Him and His people. - Pastor Jim

“Beautiful Feet” Bible Study 

If the Bible were a mountain range, it is said, Romans 8 would be its highest peak. Let's climb this great passage and get some of its breathtaking views of God, our salvation in Jesus, and what the spiritual life is meant to be for the believer.  Our study will begin via Zoom on your smart phone, tablet or desktop computer starting at 7:30 PM Eastern time, 6:30 PM for the folks joining us in Central Time and runs 90 minutes each Monday evening. Contact the Church Office at flc@firstlutheranchurch.org for information on how to receive study questions and the Zoom link from Dawn Boyd, the facilitator for the study.

Starting 
April 27, 2025

In this 7-session study, Kelly Minter invites you into the daring faith modeled by Esther and her cousin Mordecai—a faith rooted in the goodness of God, lived out through extraordinary circumstances, and used to change the world. Although our time looks different from Esther’s, our God is just as active and faithful today, and He has called you for such a time as this. Books can be purchased from Lifeway or Amazon. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Susan Fogleman at sfogleman@firstlutheranchurch.org.

2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the Month

This series will help you better understand familiar events in the life and ministry of Jesus by exploring the historical context and cultural background associated with the events AND help you connect it to your own life today. Lunch Bunch meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. We’ll gather at 11:30am for fellowship and bag lunch followed by the study at Noon.  2nd & 4th Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. via Zoom: Led by Pastor Jim Kent

GOT QUESTIONS????

Have you ever wondered why Jesus called James and John “sons of thunder”? Or why we say in the apostles creed that “Jesus descended into hell”? Join us on Saturday February 22 at 10:00am where we will be using scripture to answer any questions you may have. Whether it be about a specific section of scripture, or what does God’s Word say about areas of our life. Any and all questions are welcome and will be addressed. You can email your questions to outreach@firstlutheranchurch.org. I hope to see you there as we learn and grow together as the body of Christ. -Deacon David.   Click here to join.
