First Lutheran Monmouth

First Lutheran Monmouth Service Sunday at 10 am. After more than one and one-half centuries of existence, that desire still continues today.

We happily welcome people of all backgrounds as well as people who are new to Lutheranism - or even new to Christianity and the Church itself. First Lutheran Church was organized in 1868 by Swedish immigrants to this part of western Illinois, who desired a faithful ministry of Word and Sacrament in their new homeland. With roots in the old Augustana Synod, and historic ties to both Augustana Colle

ge and Augustana Seminary, our congregation is now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran church body in the United States. First Lutheran likes to boast that it is Warren County’s largest Lutheran congregation . . . of course, it's also the only Lutheran congregation in Warren County. For this reason, and to serve the nearby Monmouth College community, we happily welcome Lutherans of all backgrounds as well as people who are new to Lutheranism - or even new to Christianity and the Church itself.

I have a little parenting bragging tonight, but this is also bragging on a member of the church.

Nate Gallagher, a 4th year student at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa, composed a piece he titled "A Bonfire Tale." Tonight the piece was premiered by the College concert band.

So yes. I am a proud dad sharing, but so many of you have known Nate since we first came to town when he was just a freshman in high school. So I have to share.

1 like. "Nate Gallagher world premiere composer, performed by the Cornell College concert band"
