First American Lutheran Church's Fun Fact Friday

In 1926, a Women's Missionary Society was formed out of concern that too much time and effort were being devoted to money-raising activities. They held their meetings on the second Thursday of the month, with devotion, hymn singing, business meetings, a social hour, and refreshments.

In 1932, the "Thank Offering Box" was introduced to aid in mission work. The "Thank Offering Box" is still used today, almost 100 years later.

In December of each year, they would send pounds of cookies to the nursing homes and give them as gifts to needy pastors.

First American Lutheran Church's Fun Fact Friday

"Ask not what the church can do for you, but what you can do for the church" seemed the unspoken motto of the Luther League, which in 1925 took out the first $3,000 insurance policy on the church. A $3,000 policy in 1925 is equivalent to $56,607.94 today.

First American Lutheran Church's Fun Fact Friday

The new century brought changes to long-held practices, notably the elevation of women's roles in the church.

In 1921, the segregation of the sexes in the sanctuary (men on one side, women and children on the other side) was abolished.

In 1935, women were given the right to vote on all church matters, though they were still required to work through the menfolk (the Church Council) in the administration of all affairs.

First American Lutheran Church's Fun Fact Friday

Our mission statement is filled with love, service, and discipleship. It also includes the foundation of what we, as Lutherans, believe: Salvation is a free gift: "Grace alone through faith alone."

Our Mission Statement
Because we are a part of the family of God saved by the grace through our Lord Jesus Christ, we are empowered by God to provide the means for Christian growth, and to equip the members, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to be the heart, hands, and feet of Jesus Christ in our daily lives.
