May Mission Collection – Shoes and Socks During May, we will collect shoes and socks for kids birth to age 6 for Lutheran Family Services. Any style of shoe or sock can be given. The items will be given to The Boutique at the Center for Healthy families.  Use the Amazon wish list for your shopping convenience or to get ideas.  Or you can donate Amazon gift cards and someone else will shop for you.

Sunday Hospitality We appreciate all our volunteers who serve communion, greet our Sunday morning guests, usher and host at the Welcome Center. Help us cover hospitality by finding a day that works into your schedule.  One signup is communion only.  The other signup is for the other pieces of hospitality.

2024 Radio and Altar Flower Sponsors Each week our radio broadcast and altar flowers have sponsors who support these important outreach ministries of the church. Our radio broadcast reaches many people who are not able to worship with us in person. The altar flowers are delivered each week to someone needing a little cheer or celebrating a special event. You will be contacted prior to your week for payment and your special message for the announcements. Call the church office if you need help getting your days reserved.

Zero-Turn Mowers First Lutheran needs volunteers willing and able to operate zero-turn mowers provided by the church to mow the outer field areas around the church every other week beginning April 11. This will take 1 person approximately 6 hours or 2 people 3 hours. We prefer it be done Thursday, Friday, or Saturday each week so things look nice on Sunday.

Breakfast Club Treats Every Thursday morning, a group gathers to do some jobs around the church and spend fellowship time with coffee and treats. We are looking for people who would be willing to bring treats to serve this group. The treats need to be at the church by 9 am on Thursdays.

Athletic Shoe Recycling FLC is partnering with a company called gotsneakers? to recycle athletic shoes. Shoes that are badly worn are shredded and the materials are incorporated into new products. Shoes with some life left in them are redistributed to markets in which they will continue to be worn. AND, the gotsneakers? company pays a small amount for shoes that are sent in, no matter how worn out they are! Proceeds will support Spoudazo. Shoes (which must be at least 4.5 inches long) accepted are: running, walking, hiking, court shoes, cleats (rubber only), casual (such as Skechers and Vans).  Any brand is acceptable; they do not need to be name-brand shoes.  Please leave all insoles and laces intact. Bring your shoe donations to the church.  Shoes not accepted are: boots (except hiking), dress shoes, flip flops, sandals, slippers, and water shoes.
