	October Ministry Parnter – The Bridge Our October Ministry Partner is The Bridge From Violence, a local non-profit that provides 24/7 crisis support, emergency shelter and advocacy services for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault. You can support The Bridge by donating TracFones and TracFone minute cards for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault to use in emergency situations. You can also purchase these at Wal-Mart, Target or other big box stores. We have created an Amazon Wish List for the minute cards needed. Monetary donations are also welcomed.

	2025 Sunday Morning Gathering & Altar Flower Sponsors Fellowship is an important part of Sunday mornings. Sharing our faith stories over coffee and donuts helps us grow as the FLC family. The Gathering sponsor helps cover the cost of the refreshments during fellowship time before and after Sunday services. 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. You may include your payment in the offering on Sunday (be sure to designate your payment) or click “Sponsor Payment” to the left and fill out the Miscellaneous Payment section and specify your payment description.
	Lawn Mowing – Zero Turn First Lutheran is in need of volunteers willing and able to operate zero-turn mowers provided by the church to mow the outer field areas around the church. Volunteering to do this mowing saves the church $600 per week. Mowing will take 1 person approximately 7 hours or 2 people 4 hours each. We prefer it is done Thursday, Friday, or Saturday each week so things look nice on Sunday. PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to do it by yourself, please select both slots. If you want a partner to do half, please choose 1 slot.
	Snow Removal We all know it will eventually happen…snow will fall on a Sunday morning. We are in need of volunteers to help with keeping the entrances cleared of snow during services on Sundays. This is a great service opportunity for service groups, families, or individuals. It would involve keeping the entrances cleared and salted after the snow removal company does their initial sweep. You can pick your own dates and sign up for a part or the whole morning! Contact the Church Office if you’re interested. Sign up coming SOON!
	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.
