FLC Now

April 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.

Additionally, they will be printed and stored in a binder at the Info Desk for check-out by members.
