As Christians, we worship a triune God: God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While it may be easier to grasp the idea of a relationship when we speak about the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit throws a different dimension into the mix. Yet, from the witness of Scripture, we know that the Holy Spirit is critical to the life of the believer and the church. This series is designed to help us understand the power of the Spirit in our lives and allow it to lead us.

As a fun way to stay connected as a congregation through the summer months, we’re bringing back Jesus on the Go! Pick up a Jesus sign at the Welcome Center and bring it along on your adventures. Check out our website for weekly devotions & discussion questions, a summer bucket list, and how to submit pictures.

Thanks to your generosity in providing kit supplies, the Mission Quilters were able to pack an amazing shipment of kits for global missions! If you’d like to get involved in this ministry, please contact the church office.

Our students have raised over $5,000 for their summer trips thanks to your tremendous generosity! This year the middle school students will go to Xtreme Camp at Luther Crest and the high school students will head to New Orleans for the National Youth Gathering. If you would like to donate toward the summer youth trips you may do so online here (choose “Summer Youth Trip Fundraiser”) or by writing a check to First Lutheran with “Take Stock” in the memo line. Thanks for investing in our youth!
