“Signs of Life” spring appeal is here! With your generous help, we’ll sustain ministry at FLC, support our neighbors, and plant a literal sign to point to life at FLC and share God’s amazing love in this community.

BREWED THEOLOGY
Tuesday, May 27 at 7:00pm
The last Brewed Theology of the season is Tuesday, May 27th, at 7pm at the Long Branch. Our topic: "Discerning Good Government." With so many recent changes in multiple levels of government, we're going to take a step back from the media, and step into our faith, and ask, "What makes for good government?" We'll put faith foremost, acknowledge politics, but leave the partisanship, and talk. You're invited!
