Build a bigger table

Join our Interactive Fall Worship Series

What happens in communion? Why do we have communion every worship? Who is worthy or ready to go up for communion? What difference does communion make? These are all good questions that we will explore in practical ways with our fall worship series Build a Bigger Table from Sept. 7 - Oct. 20, 2024.



help us build a bigger table with practical steps

Each week of our fall worship series we will offer a practical step that you and your family can take to live out your faith as we learn together what it means to “Build a Bigger Table” not only in church but also in our hearts, in our homes, and in our daily lives. Here are some of the things planned:

  • Enjoy generational ministry with your family and make a communion cup or bread plate to use in your home to help us Build a Bigger Table as a church. Families can paint a piece of pottery 10a-12p Sunday, Sept. 15 or 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 18 in the Luther Fellowship Center downstairs. Thanks to FLC Member Michelle Kline and Potter's Obsession for helping to facilitate.  

  • Make some homemade bread or cookies and take them to your neighbors with a card from us that says, “Warm Thoughts and Fresh Cookies/Bread from the people of First Lutheran Church!”

  • Who is someone I am called to forgive? Who is someone I need to make amends with and ask for forgiveness? Reach out to them for a conversation or simply forgive them in your heart.

  • Gather with us outside the church (or online) at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 to cheer on and pray for the people participating in the Especially For You Cancer Walk. We'll also pray for the upcoming CROP walk.

  • We will fill our special communion table in the sanctuary with the plates and cups you painted earlier. You can take them home to use in your homes that week.

  • Invite someone to come to church with you who has felt possibly closed off to communion. Volunteers will take communion to homebound members to extend the goodness of God’s grace.
