Romans 8:28 notes, "We know that God works for the good for those who love him." Indeed, it is so disappointing to not be able to gather in our traditional ways. The threat of COVID-19 is frightening for many of us, and the economic implications are difficult. Even still, we trust that God will provide for us and guide us in this time.

Operation Christmas Child - The Evangelism Team is beginning the 2024 Operation Christmas Child Mission early. Many of the items collected are available and often on sale at various times during the year. This method also spreads the cost of filling a box over several months and alleviates the expense during the Christmas season. Each month specific items will be collected. However, please feel free to donate other requested items at any time.

March continues collection of personal care items. These are wash cloths, bar soap, combs, brushes and hair accessories. A complete list of designated monthly items is posted on the fellowship hall bulletin board. An ongoing tally of donated items will also be displayed. Please place items in the decorated collection box near the greeters’ location. Thank you for contributing to the Operation Christmas Child Mission. This project is one way First Lutheran Church can reach beyond the community and to children in need around the world.
The Evangelism Team is collecting food and/or gift cards to give to the food shelves in Worthington. There are three of them: Worthington Christian Church Food Shelf, Manna Food Shelf and Minnesota West Food Shelf. At the end of March, we will divide what we have and deliver to the food shelves. A big thank you for helping us with this mission!
There will be no Wednesday night worship services from April 3—June 12.
April 7th - Sunday Fun Day! ALL CHURCH! ALL AGES! Join us for all sorts of fun in the fellowship hall this afternoon from 2-4. Bring a snack to share and if you would like your favorite game.
Turn in your pictures! If you have a family or individual picture that you would like to have in the directory, please email your picture to Natalie at felcwgtn@gmail.com as soon as possible.

Community Kids’ Camp (Vacation Bible School) - June 10-13 here at First Lutheran. Please consider volunteering your time! We need lots of volunteers!
Don’t forget that a purchase of a Hy-Vee or Fareway gift card helps
our general fund. The more we sell, the more we can deposit into the
general fund. These make great gifts. Gift Cards will be available in
the office during office hours and during coffee hour on Communion
Sundays. Thank You!
