Summer is the perfect time for summer blockbuster movies! They’re fun to watch, enjoy, and talk about. It’s also a great time to consider what those movies are saying to our society and how our faith plays with those ideas. But which movies? We want to invite you to email Pastor Tim (tim@fpc-lvks.org) and tell us which movies we should watch and consider. At the end of June, we’ll have a list of movies to watch and then for each Sunday we’ll discuss them. See you soon at the movies!

Sunday, June 21 is Father’s Day! You are invited to join us for service that day, where we will be recognizing the important role that fathers and father-figures play in our lives as well as celebrate the fathers in our congregation.
