Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:

There is a certain opacity to the entire crucifixion/resurrection scenario which continues in Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances. Wouldn’t you want such a triumph – the conquest of grace and love over the powers of death and corruption – to be immediately known, visible, accessible? Yet Thomas doubts him, Mary mistakes him for the gardener, and Cleopas and the other disciple spend an entire day in his presence but mistake him for a foreign visitor. And us? Do we know what we think we know, or are we just fooling ourselves too? We are slow of heart, we are closed-minded to the Word. Yet as we come to his table he reveals himself, becomes our host and feeds us with the spirit of resurrection.

Congratulations to our Confirmation Class of 2025!

Courageous Conversation

“The church is too political!” Everyone says it, but I’m pretty sure we don’t all mean the same thing when we do. The thing is – it wouldn’t be a problem if we weren’t afraid to talk about it. I dare you to be better. The Social Concerns committee invites you to join us on Wednesday, May 7^th, for a potluck dinner beginning at 6:00 pm and conversation starting at 6:30 pm as we take some first steps together to break bad habits and grow in faith and community. More details are in the May Ambassador.

Do you love to treasure hunt? Organize? We need your help!

We have lots and lots and lots of garage sale donations, and we need help sorting everything!

You can come and work at any time that works for you, for as long as you'd like and as often as you'd like. Contact Erika if you're interested!!

ATTENTION FLC MEMBERS!!

FLC is now using a new database called Realm. This database is used to organize our membership records. This system also tracks all our financial giving, enables us to do scheduling, and Realm collects all kinds of information to help us be a better church.

The really unique thing about Realm is that YOU, the congregation, can update, edit, and control all of your own data in the system. You can change your address, add an email preference, tell us where you'd like to be more involved at FLC, see your giving information, and so much more.

If you would like to do this from home please email Vince at vkrysl@firstlutheranblair.org to request a login.

We hope to have all our FLC members update their profiles and begin interacting on Realm by the end of 2025.

Women's Bible Study

“The Minor Prophets, spanning from Hosea to Malachi, represent a tapestry of prophetic literature in the Old Testament. These twelve books, collectively known as the “Book of the Twelve” in the Hebrew Bible, are united by their brevity compared to the “Major Prophets” (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel). They address the covenantal faithfulness of God and the repeated infidelity of His people. Each book offers unique insights into the character of God, His dealings with Israel, and His ultimate redemptive plan fulfilled in Christ.”

The Friday Morning Women’s Bible study are learning about the Minor Prophets. The guide for this study is “Journey with the Minor Prophets” by Mary Cooney. “Through observation, interpretation and application the goal is to engage your heart with the living Word of God. Not intended to provide you with all the answers, rather to help you discover for yourself a few of the riches that God has for us in His Word.”

Please join us in the church library on Friday mornings from 9:30-11:00 a.m. OR 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. to learn more about the minor prophets and enjoy fellowship with one another. If you have any questions about this Bible study, contact Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gmail.com.
