Choir News

Did you know...

Singing in the choir does your body good. When we sing, our lungs fill with air, and oxygen flows throughout our body. It is good exercise, even while sitting down. Babies sing naturally, and we can take our cue from them. Improve your health with some quality singing time.

If you were not able to get your picture taken for the Church Photo Directory there is still time to submit a photo. PLEASE consider submitting a photo that we can include in the directory. There will be a fee of $15 to submit your photo for the directory, but you will receive a copy of the new FLC photo directory and also the MyUCD App. Please contact Dawn Andersen at 402-426-4073 or office@firstlutheranblair.org to submit photos or if you have any questions. Thank you!
