Spiritual Transformation

Spiritual formation at First Lutheran Church is for everyone! The Spiritual Transformation Ministry offers opportunities for growth so that our lives reflect Christ wherever we are in the world, whatever we find ourselves doing. In Romans 12:2, Paul tells us: "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think." This business of transformation is God's work in us. Spiritual Transformation Ministry provides the tools to help us pay attention to our inner selves and attend to what needs to be made new. For this depth-seeking congregation, 2017-18 will be an exciting time with many opportunities for spiritual growth.

Prayer Ministry

The prayer ministry is a vital part of the life of First Lutheran Church.  There are many ways to live out your commitment to prayer:  join the Email Prayer Chain, knit a Prayer Shawl, pray for others during Healing Worship Services or following the11:15 a.m. Sunday worship.  Which one speaks to you?  Call Marcie to be part of the Prayer Ministry.
