Pause in Posting

This summer, First English Lutheran Church (FELC) pauses most of its learning, serving, supporting, leading, and engaging actions, ministries, and programs. FELC leaders desire that the congregation reflect on the various aspects of church life. From this effort, this faith community hopes to discern priorities and new mission goals.

All are welcome to worship God and celebrate Holy Communion together each Sunday morning at 10:00am, onsite and on YouTube.

There is a pause in posting and interaction on this platform from May 31 through July 26.

To connect with First English, visit on Sunday mornings and through www.felcaustin.org.

We trust that God continues to bless each life and all creation in abundant grace!

Engaging. Timely. Beautiful. Tonight. You don’t want to miss it!

TONIGHT! TOMORROW! Join Austin Cantorum for a musical feast! We’ve been cooking up a storm in rehearsals and are ready to share with you. 🧑‍🍳 Exploring choral music that celebrates regional cuisine, reflects on the nature of hunger, and examines what it means to have a purposeful relationship with the food we eat. This program connects us together through two universal languages: music and food!
Featuring Pianist Dr. Gloria Kim, percussionist Jordan Walsh, and choral selections from Sydney Guillaume, Thomas LaVoy, Anna-Mari Kähärä, and more.

We’re also holding a canned food drive as part of the event to benefit the Central Texas Food Bank: bring non-perishable items to donate to families in need. Check our page to see what’s on their most-needed list!

We remember, we give thanks, and we pray & advocate for a world without war & violence

Before it was a holiday weekend, Memorial Day was a sacred act of remembrance.

In the years after the Civil War, people gathered in cemeteries to decorate the graves of soldiers with flowers and prayers. The observance became known as “Decoration Day,” eventually growing into what we now call Memorial Day.

Today we remember not only history, but people:
Beloved children of God whose lives were cut short by war.

We pray for peace in our world and comfort for all who grieve.

Come, Holy Spirit!

We rejoice in the powerful and vulnerable strength of God’s life-changing Spirit to ignite us to love more freely, more fully, and more fiercely. We celebrate with Hadley Fuerst as she affirms the promises of holy baptism and receives the Church’s gift of confirmation.

“Fill the hearts of your people, and kindle in us and all creation the fire of your love. Alleluia!”
