WorshiP and Music
Barb Johnson and Bev Lamp look on as Don Helberg
cooks the meat.
The high school vocal choir, FLYGHT, and the middle school vocal choir,
Jubilant Singers went on their annual Sing-Out in May. They travelled to
Omaha, Neb., and stayed at St. Michael Lutheran Church and sang for their
worship Saturday evening. They also went to Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo.
This experience gave these young people the opportunity to serve God’s people
in ministry and mission, and helped to fulfill First Lutheran’s mission to equip and
send forth people to serve and witness in Jesus’ name.
Special thanks to the Lutheran Men in Mission whose grant helped to make
this trip possible.
