This Week at First Lutheran

This Weekend in Worship:

Preaching: Pastor Steve Knudson
Scripture: Acts 3:12-19; Luke 24:36b-48
Sermon: A Questionable Life—Giving an Account of the Hope that is in You.
The gospel is one in which the risen Christ shares food with the disciples, meals that are the Easter template for the meal we share each Sunday. In today’s gospel, Jesus both shares the disciples’ food and shows them the meaning of his suffering, death, and resurrection through the scriptures, the two main elements of our Sunday worship. Peter gives an account of how the death and resurrection of Jesus shapes Peter’s acts of love and service.

Sunday Morning Sessions:

Grief Support Series
Join Zoom Meeting
This last year has been a year of remarkable difficulty in many ways, and for some it had the added dimension of the death of someone close. Our Pandemic protocols of small, virtual or no funeral service can contribute to a lack of closure and heightened or prolonged grief. A short series held on Zoom will offer opportunity to explore losses, share grieving, and begin or continue closure.

• April 25 10-11:00 AM. Dr. David Knutson, Stephen Minister: Sharing our losses—time to tell what happened.
• May 2 10-11:00 AM. Rev. Mark Urlaub, Visitation Pastor at First Lutheran Church: Looking to the Future and a brief service of commendation of loved ones.

The Legacy Journey
The Legacy Journey is a free 6-week class to help you save for retirement and leave a legacy for your children, grandchildren, church and charities. Each week you will watch a video taught by Dave Ramsey and his team on your own in your home, then gather Sunday mornings on Zoom to discuss each lesson. Please Visit our Legacy Journey page for details.
