New Baptismal Instruction: Washed and Welcome. We are now offering instruction for pre-baptism. If you are expecting a child, or know you will have a baptism coming in the future, we ask that you join us for your choice of one pre-baptismal session. Our goals for this session include establishing a connection with you for our cradle roll program, SPLASH, helping parents and sponsors better understand the meanings of baptism, and explaining what to expect on the day of baptism.
Choose from any of the three sessions planned for 2012 at the church:
Sunday March 4, 11:30 a.m.

If you already know who your sponsors are, we encourage you to invite them to attend. We will be covering ways Godparents can better fill their roles with their Godchild. If you are undecided, we will also be providing you with information about the role of Godparents, and what is expected of them in order to help you identify and choose your Godparents.
To learn more, speak with Heather Hansen, or Shelly McNitt. We are trying to identify those looking at an upcoming baptism to invite them to one of these sessions. We would appreciate all referrals.

The Hannah Sacred Ensemble is an auditioned choral group led by director Ken Hannah. Their mission is to enhance worship, build community, and improve lives through sacred choral music, whether in a rehearsal or formal service setting. Under Ken's inspired leadership, members share a unique choral and spiritual experience to connect with the music, with other choir members, and with the communities they serve.
The choir includes singers from around the Twin Cities metro area and provides opportunities to sing in a variety of venues, including area churches, elder care facilities and special festival worship. The choir is based in Bayport, MN and rehearses at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. For more information visit their website: hannahsacredensemble.org
Women’s Morning of Renewal
Attention Ladies! Morning of Renewal is at the new Redeemer Lutheran Church in Burkhardt on Saturday, March 24. The keynote speaker is Lori Hansen who is trained as a Master Gardener. She will speak on taking care of God's earth and how to create a devotional garden. Registration & coffee start at 8:00 a.m. The program will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The cost is $5.00. Please join us for a fun and rewarding morning!
ELCA Malaria Campaign
Would you please help us remove the mosquitoes around the church? For each $10 (the cost of one bed net) we collect in offerings, dragon fly cages a mosquito. Malaria is totally preventable, and treatable, though it kills one child every 45 seconds. Our offerings help cover the costs of bed nets, distribution, treatment, and prevention education.
You can use a special envelope in the pew (checks payable to First Lutheran Church), or put your loose change in the malaria bucket located near the cage in the back of church. Our spring campaign conclusion coincides with World Malaria Day April 25, 2012. We thank Avalene Swanson and Teri Swingle for their driving energy to draw FLC into the campaign!
We Need Tech Teams
If you have ever said, "We need somebody to adjust sound," we would like to train you. Radio, computer, video, audio technology is crucial now days for churches. We need volunteers to make it happen. Please talk with Lois Satterlund, Dan Sanderson, Keith Heggernes, Phil Wallander, Heather Hansen, or Pastor Jim. We want to schedule training sessions for you.
Wall of Ministries
We thank our Visual Outreach Team for bringing to our view many of the ministries God is working through here at First Lutheran Church (FLC). You can see those along the west wall by the loft. Thank you to all who partner with God to make these ministries go.
