Hello Everyone.

Our visitors Sunday, Tim and Michelle Miller of Lutheran Bible Translators, presented an inspirational update on their ministry in Southeast Asia. Learn how our partnership and support of their efforts to bring Christianity in difficult places and times to those that need it is succeeding.

For security reasons, this portion of the service will be sent in a separate email. Please do not share with anyone outside of the First Lutheran Church family.

Praise God!
FLC Administration
We can't forget that it was LCEF Sunday too.
Jack Martin provided a nice update and information items after the service. He, sadly, announced that he is retiring as the advocate for LCEF. He is actively looking for someone to step up into this very important role so that the FLC Family will continue to receive updates and important information.
If you feel the calling, please contact Jack at jackevelynmartin@aol.com


LCEF's purpose is helping God's Kingdom prosper and grow.
Godwink has exciting news to report.....
September we were fortunate to connect with someone in the community who gave use boxes of school supplies, masks and colored paper that Walmart donated and has already been delivered to Lake Forest.

This person is from an organization called Ivory’s Place and they also had a Uhaul truck with “pallets” of school supplies and we were able to connect her with Kelly from Alachua school system who is tickled pink to distribute them to other schools in need.

This in addition to all of the wonderful supplies that all of you contributed!


Talk about a Godwink moment!
September Rocked!

Also, your donation kindness has produced 50 white boards and dry eraser sets along with 10 cases of copy paper that have been delivered to Lake Forest Elementary. It is amazing how something so simple can change the moral of a group of teachers and students.

The 2021 Coat/Hat/Glove/Scarf Drive is in full swing.

We have already received 54 coats. 39 of these have already been given too excited children.

This effort not only warms the kiddos little bodies but everyone's hearts.
