	Sponsor A Bible! Remember receiving your first Bible; how special it was to have your own copy of God’s word. Who taught you how to look up a verse? What book of the Bible is your favorite? You can create that same excitement for one(or more) of our children at FLC. Help FLC fulfill the promise we make at Baptism to place the Word of God in their hands by sponsoring a Bible. Each sponsorship is $25. Donate through the offering, on-line, or at the office. Contact Gina to choose your student. 3 year olds, 3rd graders, and 7th graders will receive age appropriate Bibles on September 13 at both services.
	Be A Confirmation Partner! The Lutheran tradition includes a time in a teens life where they get to make the choice to affirm their baptismal promises. In Baptism, members of FLC promise to raise up the child by worshiping with them, teaching them God’s Word, and working for justice and peace together. Is God calling you to fulfill that promise today? Every other Wednesday night from 7:00-8:30pm, Pastor Greg will lead confirmation using the Lutheran Yes! curriculum. Adult confirmation partners are needed to walk alongside these youth as they dig deeper into their faith and make some promises of their own. This year’s confirmation class could be up to 20 students. Our hope is to have one partner for every student. Contact the office to help!
