George Gallup has said: “Americans are among the loneliest people in the world.” In the midst of busy lives, over committed schedules, and congested cities, we feel alone. Although we drive overcrowded freeways to catch overbooked flights, we live in isolation. Because of that we are a culture craving relationship.

There is a reason we crave connection. It’s the reason for which God made us. God created us for a relationship with Him, and for relationships with others. We are designed to live in community, not in isolation.

You have a place in God’s heart. You have a place in God’s Church. You have a place in God’s mission.

You have a place at First Lutheran, and we hope that First Lutheran can become your place.
