	March Ministry Partner – Dodge County Head Start This local non-profit provides vital programs that support the comprehensive development of children from birth to age 5. In addition to their core programs, DCHS offers center-wide activities that foster community and empower stronger families. This spring, they will host a “Reading Together” event where families can come in their pajamas and enjoy reading together. First Lutheran can support this wonderful initiative by donating new pajamas and board books. Please consider picking up a tag in the fellowship hall to get involved. We have also created an Amazon wish list for ease of shopping, or you can make a monetary contribution.
	2025 Sunday Morning Gathering & Altar Flower Sponsors Fellowship is an important part of Sunday mornings. Sharing our faith stories over coffee and donuts helps us grow as the FLC family. The Gathering sponsor helps cover the cost of the refreshments during fellowship time before and after Sunday services. The altar flowers are delivered each week to someone needing a little cheer or celebrating a special event. You will be contacted prior to your week for payment and your special message for the announcements. Call the church office if you need help getting your days reserved. You may include your payment in the offering on Sunday (be sure to designate your payment) or click “Sponsor Payment” to the left and fill out the Miscellaneous Payment section and specify your payment description.
	Lawn Care – Mowing We have had some moisture and warm temperatures which means grass will be growing soon! Look for opportunities to help with lawn care here at First Lutheran. Push Mower/Trimmer: We are looking for a few more volunteers for the mowing rotation (mowing 2-3 times from April-October). The mowing/trimming around the church building takes about an hour and a half. The mower, gas, and trimmer are all provided by the church. Zero-Turn Mowers: We need volunteers willing and able to operate zero-turn mowers provided by the church to mow the outer field areas around the church every other week. This job takes 1 person approximately 6 hours or 2 people approximately 3 hours. Lawn care is usually completed on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday so the church looks nice on Sundays. In addition to mowing, we also need volunteers to help edge and assist with landscape clean up as needed. If you are interested, please call the church office, or contact Dick Norenberg (402-721-0615). Those that can operate a zero-turn mower, please click the button to sign up for slot(s) online.

	Breakfast Club Treats Every Thursday morning, a group gathers to do some jobs around the church and spend fellowship time with coffee and treats. We are looking for people who would be willing to bring treats to serve this group. The treats need to be at the church by 9 am on Thursdays.
	Athletic Shoe Recycling FLC is partnering with a company called gotsneakers? to recycle athletic shoes. Shoes that are badly worn are shredded and the materials are incorporated into new products. Shoes with some life left in them are redistributed to markets in which they will continue to be worn. AND, the gotsneakers? company pays a small amount for shoes that are sent in, no matter how worn out they are! Proceeds will support Spoudazo. Shoes (which must be at least 4.5 inches long) accepted are: running, walking, hiking, court shoes, cleats (rubber only), casual (such as Skechers and Vans). Any brand is acceptable; they do not need to be name-brand shoes. Please leave all insoles and laces intact. Bring your shoe donations to the church. Shoes not accepted are: boots (except hiking), dress shoes, flip flops, sandals, slippers, and water shoes.
