The Transition Task Force needs your feedback as it shares its first report based on researching the needs and
strengths of Flat Rock and CLC. You will interact with this research via a demographic study and interviews
with Flat Rock Leaders. This will be compared to a new demographic study of Community Lutheran Church
and Preschool. Based on this research and comparison the TTF will share a well-researched understanding of
“Our Mission Field” so we can better serve our local neighbors, our civic needs and the needs of our Preschool and CLC households. Thanks for making this session a priority!

Pastor Scott’s Blog – Parables for Lent: Receive the Treasure
The kingdom of heaven is like
treasure
hidden in a field,
which a man found and covered up.
Then in his joy he goes and
sells all that he has and
buys that field.
Matthew 13:44

Gospel DNA: Multiplication
Mark 5:19
And caused quite a stir among the local folk.
A friend of mine alerted me to a hidden insight about this man. He was carrying on the witness to Jesus in a region where Jesus himself could no longer enter. What a privilege to be such a witness.
Then it struck me—we get to do that too. We get to tell what Jesus has done for us. We get to go places Jesus wants to be known. We get to bring the witness of his love and his healing power to our home and to our friends too. Maybe even places where Jesus is thought to be “too much” too. Now that’s something to think about.
See you in worship!!
