Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a rising star in German Christianity. His resistance to Hitler and the Nazi Party led to his imprisonment and to his being hanged shortly before his prison camp was liberated by Allied forces, only weeks before Nazi Germany’s surrender in WWII.

On Saturday, January 11th at 9:30 in the First Lutheran Fellowship Hall, Dr. Robert Saler will be giving a presentation on issues relevant in both Bonhoeffer’s time and our own. Dr. Saler’s presentation will be framed by the following questions:

• “Does following Jesus take us out of the world, or deeper into it?”
• “What does Religion have to do with Politics in times of upheaval?”

Dr. Saler invites you to “Come! Discuss these themes with Bonhoeffer as our guide.”

Christmas is Past. Christ is Ever Present.

First Lutheran wishes everyone a safe and joy filled 2020.

Oh Come Let Us Adore Him!

Come join us to celebrate the Miracle of Christmas, the birth of a baby, the hope of the world.

Pre-Service music including a variety of musical styles and musicians will begin at 6:30 PM.

The candlelight Service of Holy Communion will begin at 7:00 PM.

Come as you are. All are welcome.

Holy Week 2022 begins with Palm Sunday, April 10th with our normal schedule of worship services.

On Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, we will worship at 7:00 pm.

On Easter Sunday, April 17th, we will have a single worship service, beginning at 10:00 AM, with special music before the service beginning at about 9:30.

A brunch and Easter Egg hunt will be held in the Fellowship Hall immediately following worship.

First Lutheran Church presents “The Living Last Supper”, a chancel drama, twice on Palm Sunday, March 25, 2018, at 4:00 and 7:00 pm. The afternoon option has been offered for people who are hesitant to drive after dark and for families with with school age children.

The Living Last Supper reviews the night Jesus Christ was betrayed from the perspective of Jesus’ twelve disciples, bringing to life the famous painting by Leonardo DaVinci. With references to the Biblical narratives and ancient church traditions, twelve brief monologues explore each disciple’s thoughts and emotions. Each disciple shares his own experiences with Jesus as he ponders if he could be the one to betray his master, asking “Is it I?”

The presentation ends each night with an invitation to receive Holy Communion. Communion at First Lutheran is always open to all God’s people, regardless of church background. (Young children may come forward to receive a blessing.)

Thirteen men from First Lutheran Church present this drama, supported by many men and women working on costumes, sound, lighting, and refreshments. Participating in this drama has prompted many cast members to study the disciples further. One member, Terry Trautman, has used his writing skills to prepare a summary about each disciple, a collection gathered from a variety of sources. Attendees will be given a copy of his booklet after the presentation.

We pray that this drama will help you better see how Jesus changed the lives of ordinary people and worked through those ordinary people to change the world.
