Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:

Not that I've ever really liked it, but I am starting to realize that the phrase “The Good Old Days” is a problematic set of words. It is especially unhealthy in our moment of history, because it freezes us in place while the Kingdom of God is growing and becoming in our very midst. We are scared to death that the world is changing, and we don’t like change. God is not asking us to change. God is making us new. God is taking us as we are and repurposing our lives and our work so that it will serve his Kingdom and not our own. The thing is we already know how to fish. We have the gift. Now it is time for us to be “Fishers of People.” 

Reminder:

Our policy states FLC is closed when Blair Schools are closed. The church office will be closed Friday, January 23rd. If you have questions please call Dawn at (402) 670-3682.

Women’s Bible Study

Ladies…now that the holidays are behind us, are you looking for something to keep the spirit of Christmas alive in your hearts and in your lives?  Come and join other ladies on Friday mornings as we begin a new study about women of the Bible entitled “Brave and Beloved” by Meredith Storrs. 

“Women of the Bible are just like us, but their particular lives, choices, and problems can sometimes feel foreign when we read them today.  Through their stories, we can glimpse a vision of what it means to be a godly woman, but sometimes their experiences leave us scratching our heads.  This Bible study looks specifically at key women in Scripture to discover how their stories upend cultural expectations and reveal the nature and character of the God who created us all.”

This Bible study meets on Friday mornings from 9:15 to 10:45 in the church library.  No need to sign up, just show up.  Questions?  Email Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gmail.com or call (402) 533-3735. 

Nebraska Lutheran Campus Ministry presents Evensong, a Grand Choir Experience. “Illumin the Night” on Sunday, January 25^th at Luther Memorial Lutheran Church (1031 Sunset Trail, Omaha). Chili Cook-off and Silent Auction begin at 4:30pm. Holden Evening Prayer with the Grand Choir begins at 6:00 pm.

If you would like to sing with the choir there will be a rehearsal at 4:30pm on the 25^th. You can get the music ahead of time from Pastor Glen.
