Synod Assembly is this weekend!

Only One Worship Service this weekend!

Please join us in person for a livestream of the Nebraska Synod worship on Sunday morning at 10:00am.

Coffee and Fellowship at 9:00am.


This weekend, the Nebraska Synod, ELCA Assembly will gather for worship and fellowship across our state. First Lutheran will host a livestream viewing of the Sunday worship service, with coffee and fellowship beginning at 9:00 a.m. We invite you to join us in person for this special opportunity to worship together as part of the wider church community.

If you would prefer to participate from home, you can find the livestream here: https://www.youtube.com/@NebraskaSynod

You may have to click on the "live" tab to find the stream.


Because of this shared worship opportunity, we will not hold Saturday evening worship, Sunday 8:15 a.m., 10:15 a.m., or online worship services this weekend.

We look forward to gathering together in a new and meaningful way as we celebrate our connection with the Nebraska Synod and the ELCA.


Nebraska Synod theme: An image that informs our Broken Open theme this year is kintsugi, which means “golden joinery” - it is the art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. Kintsugi brings about a vessel that has been transformed, and the marks of that transformation are in some ways more precious and valuable than the vessel was prior to its transformation. Being Broken Open as God’s Nebraska Synod will lead to transformation for all of us. We will not be the vessel we have been — but the reformation currently underway may be more precious and valuable than we realize. Being Broken Open means being vulnerable, which can be difficult and painful. It is all the more important for God’s Nebraska Synod to continue strengthening our relationships with each other. We are One Church, Better Together, and we are being Broken Open so that we can faithfully respond to a changing world with hope, honesty, and joy. May God bless us in these endeavors, that our transformation may be as precious and valuable as we hope it will be.

Bishop Scott Alan Johnson

All Roads lead to Romans

An online Bible study

Summer 2026

 

The Epistle to the Romans plays a major role in our understanding of how God works his grace through the crucifixion and resurrection. Every great theologian in the history has learned from Paul, from Augustine to Luther to leaders of the church today. In the depths of Paul’s masterwork lie the foundations of faith and life and hope. Beginning June 10, join Pastor Glen as we examine selected texts from Romans which are included in this summer’s lectionary readings. Each week you will find a video presentation to watch at your convenience and an opportunity to join an online discussion. Watch the eblast and announcements for more details.

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. 

Pastor Glen's Information


Reminder: If you are hospitalized or having a medical procedure it is important that you contact Pastor Glen directly because the hospitals will not call the church. You can text or call Pastor Glen at 402-740-6395 or

e-mail him at pastorglen@firstlutheranblair.org. Also, if you need to get in to the church and it is locked you can also reach out to

Pastor Glen to let you in.
