Assist with Story Time

Sign up to assist with Story Time

At the 10:30 Sunday service, during the sermon, the non-preaching pastor will lead Story Time in the Choir Room, for all kids aged 4 through 3rd grade, as parents choose.

Story Time is a 10-15 minute mini-lesson about the story being preached in worship. There will likely be a song, a dramatic reading, prayer and definitely an opportunity to move around.

Kids will return to their families during the Hymn of the Day, immediately after the sermon is completed.

You can help:

  • We need 2 parents each week to accompany this crew as it can be quite large and more than any one pastor can handle alone.

  • We hope every parent that is likely to make use of this Story Time ministry can spare a week or two over the course of the year so no one has to miss the adult sermon in the sanctuary with any regularity. 

  • Please sign up for at least TWO dates when you can accompany the group with the Pastor to the Choir Room, stay there during the lesson and lead them all back to the sanctuary. It really is just assisting with 'classroom management' kind of stuff.

Baskets of Belonging Ingathering

On Wednesday, Nov 19, from 2-6, churches from across La Crosse county will be bringing the items they have been collecting for the past six weeks, for those who will be newly housed, to Trinity Lutheran Church on the Northside. We could use your help! This is going to be a big task and so I am asking folks from our congregation to help out as they can. If you would like to help out, you can meet me here at First at 3:15 and drive us over (leaving there around 5:00 or so) or you can go directly to Trinity when it works for you. This is a great volunteer opportunity for those of you looking for volunteer hours for NHS.

There will also be help needed on Thursday to help organize everything, but when that is happening I don't have all the details. Email or text Pastor Karyn if this interests you (608.433.6002).

If you plan on helping on Wednesday and need a ride, let me know.

Thanks for all the ways you make our community better!

Youth Lead

Youth Lead

LED BY: Youth! Adults who equip and allow youth to lead! Powered by Peer Ministry Leadership.

THE NEED: “Youth are either leading or they are leaving.” If the church is to survive, today is the day to say to youth, “We need you!” Youth must be the church of today, not just the church of tomorrow.

THE GOAL: Every church will raise the bar in how they invite youth to be EQUIPPED, EMPOWERED and ALLOWED to lead.

THE THEME:

  • The THRILLS! – Experiencing meaningful, purposeful adventures in faith.

  • The CHILLS! – Mind blowing surprises of God’s love, grace, peace and hope

  • The SKILLS! – Practical, repeatable, relational faith and life skills

Event starts at 9am in Minneapolis, so our group from First will leave from church around 6:15am.
