COMMUNITY COMMUNION WORKSHOP
Sunday, November 16 at 11:45am
Open to all ages & designed to help participants learn more about the meaning and practice of Communion. Together we’ll walk through a book, explore what happens during Communion, tour the sanctuary and sacristy, taste the elements, and have time for questions and discussion.
Participants will be invited to take their First Communion on Sunday, December 7 or on Maundy Thursday, April 2, 2026, at the 7:00 pm worship service.
FREE COMMUNITY MEAL TWICE A MONTH
Next Meal is Thursday, November 20
One of our basic calls as church is to feed our neighbors. Twice a month FLC is hosting a free community- it's a free simple supper, with a "nothing expected, anything appreciated" donation model. FLC Community members are invited to invite others, share a meal, and be church together. If you're interested in participating, volunteer, or supplying, please contact John Oney or the FLC Office.
Future meals are December 4, 18
GAME NIGHTS AT FLC
Next Date: Saturday, December 6 from 6:00-10:00pm
Everyone’s invited for a night of fun and connection! All ages are welcome—come for part of the evening or stay the whole time. Bring your favorite board or card game to share, or join in with one of the many games we’ll have here. Feel free to bring a snack to enjoy or share as we spend the night laughing, playing, and building community together!
It’s hard to believe Christmas time is almost here! 🎄
We’re already busy preparing for all the wonderful events and celebrations of the season. Visit our Christmas Page to find all the details about upcoming services and gatherings.
We’re also looking for volunteers to help make these events extra special! There are lots of great opportunities to serve — use the link below to sign up and join the fun!
WINTER (SNOW!) GEAR DRIVE
Drop off in the front entry way bins
Even though it doesn’t feel like it outside, the cold weather will be here soon! FLC is partnering with our local schools and the Farmington Library to make sure everyone in our community has what they need to stay warm this season.
We’re especially looking for kids’ snow gear — waterproof items like snow pants, boots, mittens, and jackets — so everyone can enjoy playing outside this winter.
PRAYER PARTNER WRISTBANDS are back for the 25-26 program year!
We’re looking for caring adults willing to pray for our students. Every 6th- 9th grade student has a wristband that says, “Love Like Jesus”. They’re wearing one themselves, and they’ve signed another for a prayer partner. We’re inviting adults to take a wristband (or two!) and commit to praying for that student by name. Interested? Use the link below to be added to the list.
