Shepherding Our Flock Workshop Series

Join us for three Saturdays in February: 3rd, 10th, and 17th; for the Shepherding Our Flock Workshop Series taking place in the Luther Building.

Feb. 3, 2024 Shepherding Our Flock Workshop Attendees

This LCMS program seeks to answer the question – How can our church minister to members who have become less active in our church? It will provide us with practical processes and useful tools to reach out to inactive members with care and attention.

Church attendance was affected adversely by Covid-19, and has been a challenge for churches all across our nation. But fortunately, LCMS has developed valuable resources that can help us address this issue at First Lutheran Church. There is no cost to participate, and the three sessions will take place from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., with lunch provided.

This promises to be a very informative workshop, so be sure to put it on your calendar and let the church know you are coming by clicking the Contact Us button below, so Pastor Bacic can plan accordingly: pastorbacic062809@gmail.com, 501-410-2944. We look forward to seeing you there.

Celebrate Your Gifts Workshop

Join us Saturday, October 21st for the Celebrate Your Gifts Workshop in the Luther Building and hosted by the Board of Evangelism. There will be an informal lunch at 12:30 p.m., the workshop will start at 1 p.m. and adjourn no later than 3 p.m.

God has equipped each of us with gifts, talents, and abilities, and set forth work for us to do. And yet only:                        

  • 54% of practicing Christians know their gifts, and only
  • 27% are actively using those gifts to perform the work He has set before us, for the joy of the Lord.

Using resources from Lutheran Hour Ministries based on research done with the Barna Group, we will explore how to discover and use our gifts to carry out the work He has set before us.

This promises to be a very informative workshop, so be sure to put it on your calendar and let the church know you are coming by clicking the Contact Us button below, so Pastor Bacic can plan accordingly: pastorbacic062809@gmail.com, 501-410-2944. We look forward to seeing you there.
