ONGOING PROGRAMS/EVENTS:
Palm Sunday Processionsl: The children are encouraged to participate in our Palm Sunday worship service processional each holding their palm. Last year's service was April 17, at 9:45 am. We ask the children to meet in the Parish Center Assembly Hall at 9:25 am, to get ready.
Vacation Bible School: VBS is usually held in June for students preschool - grade 6. It is open to members and nonmembers of First Lutheran Church. Because of the flood evacuation, we had to cancel VBS to be held at FLC. Zion Lutheran invited FLC children to join them for their VBS/Day Camp that was held on August 1-5.
Friday Night Live -- Friday Night Live is a 4th - 6th grade retreat that takes place at Camp Metigoshe. Come for a great, late night of singing, games, worship, and yummy food! Friday Night Live is held twice a year, once in the spring, and once in the fall. Go to metigosheministries.com for more information.
CAMP METIGOSHE
It's that time of year again! Every summer there are many wonderful camp experiences available at Camp Metigoshe.
For those who went to camp last summer, you should have been mailed a brochure for this summer's camp opportunities. If you have not received the Metigoshe Ministries Summer Camp brochure, you can pick one up by the church office or go to their website online at metigosheministries.com.
First Lutheran will pay 1/3 of the cost of one camp session, per year, for members. Please register directly with Camp Metigoshe first, then call the church to inform us of your scheduled camp. If your camp is in June, you must let the church know by May 15th. If your camp is in July or August, you must let the church know by June 15th. Please know that the camp does not coordinate this information back to the individual churches, so it is up to you to let the church office know by those dates. If you do not meet the deadlines, you will be responsible for the entire fee when going to camp.
For those FLC member families that utilize the 1/3 off, you are expected to help at the FLC fairstand at the ND State Fair. It is from the proceeds of the fairstand that cover the 1/3 camp fees.
