A HUGE “THANK YOU” goes to ALL FLC members who staffed the WASHINGTON COUNTY RECYCLING CENTER on Saturday, February 26! Additionally, we want to THANK ALL the FLC MEMBERS who staff the RECYCLING CENTER every single week! This is an important service to the community and a wonderful way to be responsible stewards of our God-given creation!
During the Season of LENT we at FLC will have a wonderful opportunity to do “alms giving,” one of the three ways which Bishop Brian Maas reminded us on March 23 is a good way to prepare ourselves for the joyous EASTER celebration! “Alms giving” means giving to others who are in need. We are going to have a “Bathroom Shower Ingathering” for REFUGEES who are being resettled in Nebraska, sponsored by Lutheran Family Services. Let’s see how many of the 100 families involved we can help by providing necessities for their bathrooms! There will be a table and bin in the narthex for your collection of the following items between March 2 through March 3l: bath towels, shampoo, soap, individual toothbrushes, tooth paste, and deodorant. Happy shopping for this REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT BATHROOM SHOWER!
