Thank you, First Lutheran, for your generous support of our Weekend Nutrition outreach. We have completed another school year, supplying 50 elementary school children with weekend food. Many thanks have been received from our schools - Damman, Lincoln and Ida Nason - these thanks belong to you for your continued support - prayers and financial. ~ Judy Ragland
Summer at First Lutheran Church means Vacation Bible School! This year we have an extra challenge to meet. Our Youth Director position is currently vacant. Lael Maddox is able to and has agreed to return for the week of August 16-20 to lead VBS. Our challenge is to plan and organize curriculum, registration, group leaders, craft leaders, story leaders, activity leaders and meal plans for five nights of VBS. Can we do it? So many fun times are had and memories made during VBS. And it gives the young families another great experience in growing up in the faith community. We encourage parents to give their input and help make this happen.
Sign-Up Sheets for VBS are available out in the Fellowship Hall! VBS this year will be Sunday, August 16th through Thursday, August 20th, from 5:45pm to 8pm. Parents, please fill out the registration forms available in the fellowship hall!
Sunday School is on break for the summer. There will be kid bulletins and coloring sheets available for kids during the service. Parents, please sign up to our summer email list to receive activities and videos for Sunday School kids to continue learning through the summer.
If anyone wants to teach a Sunday School class, you are welcome to do so! Please let the office know and we can set you up with the curriculum/ necessary materials.
Youth and Young Adult Activities will meet once more this Wednesday, July 8th from 6pm to 8pm. There will be a simple dinner at 6:00 pm, followed by Bible Study from 6:30pm-7:30pm, and then games until 8pm. Then, the group will be out on summer break. Middle schoolers, High Schoolers, and young adults are most welcome to attend the Church-wide BBQs on July 15th and August 5th. The Youth and YA group will then meet on August 12th at the usual time for dinner and VBS set up and planning. Dinner, Bible study & games will resume as usual on August 26th.
Choir is taking a break during the summer. We welcome “Special Music” during worship services. If you would like to sing a song or play an instrument please see Betty Kramlich. Kids too, of course!
