CONGRATULATIONS & BLESSINGS TO THE 2026 CONFIRMANDS
EISELE FLOWER FUNDRAISER UPDATES
For the month of May, Eisele Greenhouse will once again be offering a donation of 15% of pre-tax sales made directly at the greenhouse back to FLC. This can be done by presenting the attached certificate or really just mentioning FLC donation at checkout. This is in addition to the fundraising orders that were already submitted by individuals. This has made a small amount in the past, but could be more if well advertised (especially with Mother's Day next weekend!)
ALREADY ORDER FLOWERS THROUGH THE FUNDRAISER?
Jot down these pick update details.
When: Tuesday, May 12 between 4:30pm - 6pm
Where: FLC Parking Lot
Who: If you ordered through FLC, you are responsible to pick-up.
Alternately, if you ordered through a FLC youth, they are responsible to deliver to you, unless alternate arrangements were made!

What are your favorite things about Farmington Lutheran?
We love the highly blended community between FLC and other activities and opportunities around Farmington. We love how our kids feel like they are home there. We love how our whole family is able to get involved, each of us in our own ways, beyond attending worship. We LOVE the people.
Tell us about your family/your dear ones.
My wife Anna and I have been married for 18 years. We have four kids: Sam is 14, Josie is 11, Clara is 10, and Theo is 5. Oh, and Berge the dog, age 6-ish.
What is your dream vacation?
Anywhere by the ocean
Describe your hobbies or how you like to spend free time.
Most often, my free time is spent with my family in mode or another - likely chauffeur mode, snack mode, or our beloved Friday Night Fun mode.
What is/was your profession?
In my role as Director of Communication and Innovation for Sacred Playgrounds, I work with Christian camps to help them research, evaluate, and train effectively in order to maximize their impact on the lives of campers, families, churches, and communities!
What is your favorite holiday? Why?
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year - Charles Dickens

SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE
Begins Sunday, June 7
9:30am Worship, 8:30am Forum
As the calendar turns through spring and towards summer, FLC is trying a new Sunday rhythm. At the suggestion of FLC members and the approval of Council, we will worship together at a single 9:30am worship service (with live stream) this summer. This will connect worshipers who often worship at different worship times, as well as allow time for fellowship & forum (e.g., Bible study) at 8:30am. This schedule will run from June 7 through August 30.
Set your calendars, and stay tuned for more details!
