Building Community ...

We've had such strong interest in small groups here at First. If you have not already done so, please pick up a lime green brochure from the Welcome Center. This brochure provides the names of most of the groups that are currently meeting, along with contact people.

Small Group Update

At First Lutheran, there is new life and GROWTH happening all around us. There are a number of small groups that are new and just beginning to take shape. In just the past few weeks people have come forward wanting to lead and participate in the following groups. This is exactly what we have been working towards ... a sense of ownership and investment in the group process ... a calling to lead and belong.

These are the newest groups developing:

• A Bible study for young married couples
• A book club to review Christian themes
• A group to support families with new babies
• A group for craft and sewing lovers
• A bridge group

Upcoming possibilities:

• A group to study poetry
• A writers group

Also:

• Thomas's Table - a place for our questions
• Girls' Night Out
• ELCA Sexuality document review

WOW!! There's a place for you at First Lutheran! If you have an idea for a group, please contact Pastor Sherry at church. The seeds are being planted ... we are GROWING and thriving ... come - join us!
