As God's people gathered for worship, study and service, we seek to be a WELCOME PLACE for all people. This we do out of love for and obedience to Jesus Christ.
In April 2021, First Lutheran returned to indoor, in-person worship options each Sunday at 9am. In accordance with current StaySafeMN guidelines, our church is open.
In August 2021, your Executive Committee adopted the following guideline:
First Lutheran encourages the use of a mask, and especially in indoor spaces when CDC designates Steele County COVID transmission to be substantial or high.
-no preregistration is necessary for outdoor worship. Just come!
-we gather on the south lawn and dress is casual [Psst…it can be sunny, or breezy, or both out there. Too Rainy? We try for May 23]
-bring your own lawn chair or blanket
-Holy Communion will be offered
-radio broadcast will be similar, just prerecorded [We plan to be live on Facebook if possible]
From 10:00am – 10:30am, Outdoor Sunday School will be held on the west lawn. No pre-registration; a form will be signed by parent on arrival. [This is the final week of Sunday School!]
Good Earth Village will be with us during worship & Sunday School. [Psst…Summer camp registration is now open!]
Can’t make it? Another outdoor worship is planned for June!

No Facebook Live this Sunday, as we will be outside. Radio broadcast only. [Missed? We have the audio linked right here]
This will be great practice for Christmas eve, so do plan to join us in the parking lot!
Following regular worship: a brief quarterly meeting to consider the 2021 mission budget. [Motion Passed-copy of minutes available in office] The Stewardship Team will have lawn signs to share as you depart. We have hope!
