FLC Now

January 2025

FLC Now provides a quick, monthly look at ways to stay informed, be engaged, and get involved in the life of the church. Each month we’ll highlight ways in which the congregation can lend a hand, donate needed items, or simply be a part of the church family at happenings.

If you’d like to receive a copy of FLC Now opportunities in the mail, please call the church office, 605/336.3734.

Meeting Minutes

The Church Council approved a motion to provide minutes of all board meetings within 7 days of those minutes being approved. To keep the information private and for congregation members only, the minutes will be posted in the Church Center app (click here for more info). Additionally, they will be printed and stored in a binder at the Info Desk for check-out by members.
