ROUND UP YOUR CHANGE
If you’ve ever “rounded up” a purchase for a charity, now you can do so automatically for Farmington Lutheran, through RoundUp.org.
A simple way to leave the “gleanings” (Leviticus 23:22) of your purchases in offering!
Automatically “round up” your credit card purchases to the nearest dollar for FLC.
On the first of each month, the sum of collected round-ups is charged. Funds are automatically donated to Farmington Lutheran Church.
Sign Up at RoundUp.org, and select Farmington Lutheran Church.
Monitor your roundups, set a monthly cap, get giving receipts (from Stripe), and/or cancel anytime online.

BREWED THEOLOGY

What is Brewed Theology? Brewed Theology (BT) is a conversation/guided discussions on topics where faith and culture intersect. Developed with Christian contexts in-mind, and written by pastors.
But what does it actually look like? A gathering of any size at a pub, brewery, coffeeshop, etc., with 60-minute guided conversations happening simultaneously at tables of 3-6 people, with a large-group wrap-up (or guest speaker) to conclude. Come check it out!
