Be a part of the dedicated volunteers of our SNOW Team!
Well, we now know that Mother Nature has decided not to be shy about sending snow our way.
We need volunteers!
Call the church office or sign up in the narthex for an opportunity to be a part of the Minnesota-hardy snow team! Snow team members sign up for a week at a time to keep the sidewalks clear and safe. With your help, FLW will be ready and able to welcome in both young and older folks.

Mission of the Month for January: Cherish All Children
Your gifts make it possible for us to continue reaching children and youth with the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safer in online and in-person relationships. There has been a significant increase in online sextortion, especially targeting young boys, so our work with Confirmation classes, parents and other supportive adults is critical to preventing this serious crime and its lasting harm. And we continue to educate and engage many churches to prevent all forms of exploitation – your
support makes a difference!
Joy McElroy Cherish All Children Executive Director
To support this ministry, write Cherish All Children on the memo line of your check or if donating online choose the Mission of the Month option.
Wildfire Book Club: Finding Jesus at the Border
Join our Wildfire siblings in January and February for a communal reading and study of Julia Lambert Fogg's book, Finding Jesus at the Border. Lambert Fogg is a professor of Religion at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California. As an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA) Lambert Fogg is committed to helping people of faith live out their shared mandate to welcome the stranger. Her book, published in 2020, examines the stark similarities of stories of migration and welcome throughout Scripture and with our current contexts.
We will have three gatherings to engage with this book, and we are thrilled that Julia Lambert Fogg will join us for the third one! You are welcome to attend any or all of the gatherings.
Chapters 1-4 discussion:
Thursday, January 15 at 6:30pm at Faith Lilac Way Lutheran and on zoom
Chapters 5-8 discussion:
Tuesday, February 10 at 6:30pm at Faith Lilac Way Lutheran and on zoom
Conversation on the entire book with author Julia Lambert Fogg who will be joining us on zoom from California on February 12:
6:00-8:00pm at House of Hope Lutheran or Zoom
Pizza at 6:00pm with book discussion starting at 6:30pm
Please reach out to Vicar Karla at vicar@faithlilacway.org to receive the zoom link if you plan to join any of these gatherings virtually.
