TONIGHT! BREWED THEOLOGY
Tuesday, February 24 at 7:00pm
We're brewing some theology (and "ecclesiology!") tonight, 7pm, at the Long Branch. We're talking about "Our Church: Past, Present, & Future."
Bring stories of…
1. your past faith journey, church history (at FLC or otherwise) and how you got here,
2. what your eyes and ears see and hear at FLC now, and
3. your worries and hopes for the future of this church.
“FOR GOOD” INFORMATION SESSION
Sunday, March 1 at 9:30am
Join us this Sunday as we officially launch our new capital campaign, FOR GOOD! This initiative is a defining opportunity for our congregation to retire our building debt, respond to our calling, and live more fully into our purpose. Inspired by a generous seed gift, we are inviting every member of our faith community to join this collective effort. By eliminating our mortgage early, we can redirect our annual resources toward expanded faith education, sustaining our dedicated staff, and growing our community outreach. We invite you to a special information session held between services this Sunday to hear the vision for our future and learn how every gift of time and treasure helps ensure Farmington Lutheran is here for good.
