Special Synod-wide worship service!

This Sunday, June 1st at 10:00AM!

This weekend we will gather together for worship in one service on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM, along with congregations from all across the Nebraska Synod, as we celebrate our shared life in the Church of Jesus Christ. The Rev. Scott Johnson, Bishop of the Nebraska Synod, will be preaching at that worship service. There will be special fellowship time beginning at 9:00 AM.

The theme of this year’s assembly is Imagine! Together as Christ’s church, we are called to follow the Spirit, and to imagine what God might be up to and inviting. We will hear the stories of our companion synod partners from the Northern Diocese of Tanzania and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Argentina and Uruguay. We’ll hear how they are imagining and be invited to dream and

wonder. Through closing worship together, we’ll be sent forth as one Nebraska Synod to imagine. There is still more to imagine, and more to do. Imagine what God might be up to and inviting you to be a part of next…

You can view any part of the Assembly online via the link on the Synod website: https://nebraskasynod.org/

Also, you can go to the First Lutheran Church Facebook Page and the link will be posted for you to watch as soon as we get it.

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. 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.
