Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:


The 23rd Psalm is one of the most beloved pieces of scripture, in part because of the very lovely and pastoral image it portrays of green pastures and still waters. It gives us comfort because it speaks of rest. And we need rest so badly! We live the lives in furious pursuit, constant fear, deep anxiety and uncertainty. But we belong to a God who give us calm and quiet, keeps us to himself and protects us from all that would harm us. Even our self. Trust the shepherd, for he is good.

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.
