First Lutheran is a gathering place for people from across the region. Our welcome begins with the affirmation that each person is a child of God by grace.

On this day in 1945, Lutheran pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer was martyred at the hands of his Nazi captors for his involvement in a conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow the Third Reich. He was 39 years old.

Today we commemorate St. Patrick, who served as bishop for Ireland before his death on this day in 461.

[The Lutheran World Federation @lutheranworld]

LWF calls for global solidarity with the affected people of Ukraine, including those who have been displaced and require urgent humanitarian assistance.

We call on governments to keep their borders open and welcome those who are fleeing from the hostilities.

"It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold; 'Peace on the earth, good will to all, from heaven’s all-gracious king.' The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing" (ELW 282).

@NWSWPC Iowa's warm December is looking nicer all the time!

[ELCA Lutherans @ELCA]

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. This eight-day “festival of lights” commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in the second century BCE and the continual commitments to healing, wholeness, hope, and joy.

Hey, friends! @HealthiestIowa agrees! The #1 way to get moving this summer is to get out there and #Replant!
Grow a garden, plant a tree, shrub, or even some small flowers!
Replant your faith and your yard this summer, and share your replanting photos with us!

With the onset of summer and warmer weather, there are plenty of “out of the box” ways to get exercise and be more physically active without hitting the gym. https://t.co/dgij1CmML7 #HealthyChoicesCount

@drbillwithers So glad you are still with us, Bill!

[First Lutheran, CR @FirstLutheranCR]

Working with our partners in the MedQuarter, we find it crucial to help address all aspects of wellness - mental, physical, and spiritual.
We are proud to support #MakeitOK initiatives in our community and look forward to a future in which we can once again host local events!

[Healthiest State Initiative @HealthiestIowa]

Silence makes the mental illness stigma even worse. Together, we can #MakeItOK. https://t.co/Sht075sHac

Testing and tuning continues on this beautiful new instrument! This morning they were testing some of the highest notes it will make and by themselves it was shrill! We are still a couple weeks away from hearing the full effect, but every sound this machine makes is captivating!

[First Lutheran, CR @FirstLutheranCR]

An important message from our Bishop. #GodCreatedScienceToo

[ELCA Lutherans @ELCA]

As Lutherans we believe that science and religion come from the same source and that source is God. Receiving the COVID-19 #vaccine does not mean we are being less than faithful by trusting science rather than God. @ELCABishopEaton

This long pandemic is going to come to an end. Continue to be vigilant, wear your masks, and trust the science of the vaccines. The vaccines are safe, effective, and will help us return to life in person.
