Pastor Glen's focus for his message for

this upcoming weekend:

 Often the readings in this time of year to those familiarly frightening images of strife and destruction that we lump under the category of "apocalypse." In doing so, we miss the point: the end is not something awaiting us at some later date when God's wrath boils over. We are living in the end now! The purpose of the Gospel is the tearing down of human brokenness to make way for the rising of the kingdom among us. The Day of the Lord is the promise of life and joy, of purpose and peace. That word, being so dramatically different from the lives we are living now, may be the most frightening word of all.

Food Pantry Ingathering

This November, we are focusing our efforts on supporting local food banks who are facing a food crisis. We will be supporting the Washington County Food Pantry and the pantry at San Andres in Omaha.

We are receiving all donations, but in both cases we are asked to provide specific grocery staples rather than left-overs from our own cupboards. For San Andres, they are asking for canned tuna and/or chicken, rice, dried beans, four, sugar and oil. Bulk quantities would be welcome since they can be separated into smaller portions by volunteers at there. For the Washington County Food Pantry, please give Peanut butter, Jelly, Canned pasta meals with flip top (Chef Boyardee), Pancake mix needing only water, Microwave Mac n Cheese bowls, flip top canned fruit, Individual packages of

tuna, Canned chili.

Look for the display in the narthex for your donations.

Women’s Bible Study

Waking Christmas morning and knowing that the magic day has come. Running downstairs to discover what’s under the tree. Opening a package and finding something special that was selected just for you. Christmas is a day of delights that we can always approach with fresh wonder. But the reality is that it is not always a happy season. Christmas can remind us of past losses, the family we wish we had or our economic stress.

The Friday morning Women’s Bible study will begin an Advent study in preparation for Christmas. Come join us in the church library on Friday mornings from 9:15 to 10:45 A.M. as we study together “Advent of the Savior”. Need more information? Email Susie Pinquoch at spinquoch@gmail.com.

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.

Do you participate in our online worship services?

If you watch our services on Facebook or other sites, please like the post or leave a comment each time. This will help us improve our accuracy in attendance numbers at First Lutheran.
