VALLEYFAIR WITH FLC!
Monday, August 10 from 9:45am-5:00pm
Farmington Lutheran is going to Valleyfair! Open to all ages. Have a youth who wants to attend with no adult? That's ok! We have plenty of adults attending, we'll split into groups to wander the park together. Need a ride? Email jen@farmingtonlutheran.com, and we'll do our best to coordinate a carpool.
Free Back-to-School Haircuts & School Supplies!
Sunday, August 16 5:00-6:30pm
Thanks to the generosity of community and FLC volunteers, licensed hairstylists will be providing free back-to-school haircuts and distributing backpacks filled with school supplies to anyone and everyone in our community.
Help us spread the word! Tell your neighbors, invite your friends, and let families know they are welcome to stop by between 5:00–6:30 p.m. to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Supplies are limited and will be available while they last.
CORN ROAST & MILESTONE EVENT
Wednesday, August 19 from 5:00 - 7:00pm
Farmington Lutheran Church will host its Second Annual Corn Feed! The Corn Feed will feature a delicious grilled dinner, fresh sweet corn, sides, and dessert. Everyone is invited to stop by anytime between 5:00 and 7:00 PM to enjoy a meal and connect with the FLC community.
Families with students entering one of our milestone grades (Kindergarten, 6th, 9th & 12th) will also have an opportunity to gather with other FLC families at the same stage of life. More details and specific times for each milestone gathering will be shared closer to the event, but each group will have the chance to hear from a panel of parents and leaders, ask questions, and connect with one another as you prepare for the new school year.
Whether you're coming for dinner, celebrating a milestone, or both, we hope you'll join us for this evening of food, fellowship, and encouragement!
