First Lutheran Members and Friends,
We will be posting updates here with regards to the onsite ministry of FLC. Please check in often.
First Lutheran Ministry Update: June 29, 2020
FLC Friends,
Thank you for your patience during this time of being the church deployed. We are looking forward to the day when we can get together again. While we are living apart, we hope to continue serving God in ways that he has gifted each of us and in the areas where he has placed each of us. We are the Church, Where ever we may be!
We have five (5) things for you this week:
1. Planning and Preparedness: Starting in July 5, we will add to our On Line Worship a 9:30 am In Person Worship on Sunday morning in the parking lot using our FM Transmitter. Participants will remain in their cars and tune to the FM channel that our transmitter will broadcast over. Worship leaders will be stationed near the entrance and properly spaced apart.
2. On-Line WORSHIP - Just like past weeks, we invite you to join us for worship online (starting at 9:00 AM) on our YouTube channel, and Facebook. Want to spread God's Word in a simple way? Share FLC's worship service and daily resources on Facebook. As more people share our posts, the reach of our ministry grows exponentially!
3. WORSHIP is NOW ON ARVIG Chanel 14! We figured out the glitch we think for last week so we believe we will be on starting this week. You can tune in at 6 pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday to watch the most recent service, and 11 am Sundays to see the previous week’s service. Tell your friends and family members who don’t have internet access that now they can join us!
4. Weekly Facebook Schedule - We want to invite you to join us Monday thru Saturday at 9 am on Facebook for our daily devotions. For children please join us on Facebook Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:15 for lunch and a Bible Story.
5. COMMUNION DURING THIS CRISIS – Wednesday’s from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm we will offer Drive Thru Communion! We will have the parking lot laid out so that there will be two communion stations, and also a place for you to leave your gifts and offering. We ask that you enter thru the Elm Street entrance and be directed which station to drive thru, then exit on at the 4th Street exit. You will remain in your vehicle and the pastors will be masked. The communion elements will be prepackaged with one individual at each station handling them with gloves. We hope for those who are longing for Communion and can safely travel out, that this will bring you some comfort and hope.
Those concerned about making their weekly gifts to First are encouraged to sign-up for Simply Giving, you can call the church for information on how to sign-up, or you can drop off you gifts during the new office hours of 8 am - Noon, or you may mail in your gifts.
