YOU DID IT, CHURCH!
We reached our $60,000 goal for the Signs of Life appeal — thank you!

🎉 AND YOU did it AGAIN —
you reached 75 donors in just a matter of hours!

So we’re upping the challenge: let’s go for 150 DONORS!

Stewardship strengthens our community not just by raising funds, but also by drawing us together in shared discipleship. The more people participating in the Signs of Life appeal, the greater its impact will be!

Every gift beyond our goal strengthens and positions Farmington Lutheran for ongoing and future ministry efforts. Every gift counts, no matter the size. Let’s keep climbing!

We’re excited to share that three additional nonprofits were voted on and chosen this weekend as part of FLC’s commitment to tithe back to our community: Global Refuge, Out Front, & St. Paul Synod “Planting Hope”
Your generosity makes this possible — thank you for your continued support!
