“And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”   Acts 1:8

One of the ways we express our faith is through serving and supporting opportunities that reach beyond the walls of First Lutheran.

Throughout the website you will see opportunities to serve.  You are invited to explore the following options that reflect a more missional approach.

Fair Trade Coffee Project

Our Lutheran World Relief coffee project makes it possible for us to enjoy coffee and teas. Through the project farmers in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and U.S. earn a fair price for their products called “Equal Exchange.” These farmers can support themselves and in return help their communities with education, health care, and agricultural improvements.

The money we receive from our coffee sales goes right back to the farmers, and the profit we make all goes to help Maasi girls from Africa attend Concordia College in Moorhead.

We'd love to have you stop by our “coffee table” on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. We're located in the west narthex. Coffee is $7.00 per bag (or 2 bags for $13), and tea is $4.00.

God gives all people the capacity to work for the common good.

Thanks so much!
