Annual Backpack Drive for Family Learning Center

Ends Today | The Link

The annual backpack drive for our community partner the Family Learning Center runs through July 19. This year First Cong is focusing on collecting 50 new adult-size backpacks (17-19") for the older students (we still need 30 backpacks). We also request financial donations to provide for other essential back-to-school items that the Family Learning Center will purchase. Please place your new backpacks in the receptacle in the Link and financial donations can be made here.

Summer Bible Study – Young Adults and Older Too

Sundays, After Worship | Conference Room

Join Rev. Bob von Trebra to study Scripture together – across every season of life, every adult age, every story.

If everyone contributed just one bag of groceries, we could exceed 2025’s Food Drive total of 3,906 lbs. Bring your donations to the little red wagon in the Link next Sunday or to your local neighborhood leader (find your local coordinator on the shopping flyer).
