FELC STUFF THE TRUCK
In Response to recent natural disasters events (flooding) in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and surrounding area, First English Lutheran is sponsoring a STUFF THE TRUCK EVENT SAT SEPT 12. We will be collecting critical clean-up supplies for those in need. This is open to anyone for participation, with First English being the drop off point for all items donated. Drop off times 9:30a-2:30 p M-F, 10a-4p Sat. Or for an appointment please contact the church office to drop off supplies at FELC687@gmail.com. Please see the attached PDF below for the list of cleaning supplies needed for donation. We will be focused on the "flood bucket" list of supplies, but any items can be used from this list of the NALC Disaster Response needs. For those who prefer to donate cash- gift cards are accepted for Home Depot or Lowe's with the notation disaster relief. These gift cards can be used by the disaster teams on location to purchase needed items not stocked at the warehouse.

ABOUT OUR CHURCH
First English Lutheran Church is a member of the North American Lutheran Church, or NALC. If you are unfamiliar with what we North American Lutherans believe, please continue to read for a synopsis.
MINISTRY
This family has been called by Christ to minister to all who are in need. Where there is hunger, we strive to provide food. Where there is thirst, drink. Where there is nakedness, clothing. We come together to welcome the stranger and to care for the sick and imprisoned.
WORSHIP
It is in worship that this family of faith gathers together to offer thanks and praise to the Author of Life and Light, our Lord Jesus Christ. It is here that we hear God's Word, receive God's forgiveness, and join the Body of Christ at the Table of Grace, where all are welcome to taste and see that the Lord is good!
Mary and Martha
Women of all ages are welcome to this ministry group. Our meetings are each third Thursday of the month at noon.
EVANGELISM
As Christians, we have the highest hope of any people - complete forgiveness of all our sins and eternal life with God forever in Heaven. As the Holy Spirit dwells within us, He imparts gifts - His fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). As those in the world see this fruit, they wonder why and how it can exist, and we need to be ready to respond.
DISCIPLESHIP
Your brothers and sisters at First English strive not to be just church members, but dedicated and involved disciples of Jesus Christ. Learning to be a disciple of Jesus is a life-long journey that we take together.
