Weekly Update - December 17, 2021
Dear Members and Friends of Our FLCC Community,

Christmas is upon us!  We look forward to seeing you throughout our weekend of celebrations and Christmas caroling. Let us all praise the Lord for the birth of Jesus and spread His message of hope and love throughout our neighborhood!

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves His child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out His commands. 1 John 5:1-2.
