Time to Register for Workshop: Healthy, Low-Cost Meals Are a Snap

The increasing cost of food and need for healthy meals is becoming a huge issue for many people at this time. So we are delighted to announce that a workshop on this topic is set for Wednesday, September 6, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Luther Building at First Lutheran Church, 8th and Rock Street in Little Rock.

Our guest presenter is Ms. Laura Anne Warren, a Family and Consumer Science Agent from the Pulaski County Extension Office with expertise in the areas of nutrition, cooking and gardening. She  will be providing a cooking demonstration as well as key insights on how to create healthy, low-cost meals and reduce food costs, an important issue that emerged in our recent survey of the congregation.

This promises to be a very informative workshop, so be sure to put it on your calendar and let the church office know you are coming by clicking the Contact Us button below, so our presenter can plan accordingly: firstlutheranlr@gmail.com, 501-372-1023. We look forward to seeing you there.

Spiritual Conversations Workshops in June

When Christ came to live among us, he fed and healed people’s bodies, he cast out demons, he taught, and he had SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS.

We are delighted to announce that a series of three workshops will be held on Spiritual Conversations on June 7, 14, and 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The workshops draw on research from the Barna Group that people talk less about spiritual matters than they used to, but we all can become more intentional in our outreach and actually enjoy sharing Jesus with others when we do. This is a terrific opportunity to learn vital insights to help us carry out the Great Commission, so you won’t want to miss it. The public is invited, there is no cost.

Please click “Confirm Attendance” below if you would like to attend the workshops.

For more information, e-mail – firstlutheranlr@gmail.com, or contact the church office (501) 372-1023.

Leaving a Legacy Seminar

Leaving a Legacy Seminar held June 24, 2023 (photo courtesy of Jolene Steinbicer)

One of the greatest challenges facing individuals and families today is not only how to make ends meet in a time of rising costs and high inflation, but how to plan for and leave a legacy that will live on into the future. First Lutheran Church in Little Rock is delighted to announce that this issue will be addressed at a seminar on Saturday, June 24, 2023.

“There are several financial instruments that benefit individuals and families as well as churches and other charities,” states Michael Videll, Financial Advisor with Thrivent Financial and a featured speaker at the seminar.

“But we are unlikely to take advantage of them if we don’t know about them.” The seminar will address tax-advantaged ways to donate to charities, charitable remainder trusts,
donor-advised life insurance policies, and donor-advised funds.

In addition, Bethany A. Pike, an attorney with The Elrod Firm – Estate Planning and Elder Law, will speak about wills, estates, irrevocable living trusts, powers of attorney, and related legal issues that are pertinent to leaving a legacy. Finally, First Lutheran Pastor Ron Bacic will speak on how leaving a legacy starts with becoming a good steward.
