Green Committee


The Green Committee is responsible for encouraging First Lutheran members, 
both as individuals and as a faith community, to fulfill God's earliest commandment: 
that we should keep and till the earth.  (Genesis 2:15)

Our Green program of reflection and response follows 
the arc of the church year and the changing natural seasons.  

Lights for Epiphany

"In the Season of Light, Bring Lights"  On the first Sunday after Epiphany, we encourage FLC members to donate energy-efficient light bulbs as part of the morning offering.  They are given to the St. Peter Area Food Shelf for its clients.

Ec0-Fair

During education hour on a Sunday, we sponsor a set of presentations and demonstrations relating to creation care and wellness. This has included: community gardening and community supported agriculture; green reading materials in the church library; healthy eating; local foods; recycling tips; pilates, yoga, meditation and mindfulness

First Forum Presenters

We normally sponsor a forum speaker two or three times a year.  

Food Shelf Garden

Throughout the summer months, we maintain the vegetable garden on the hillside east of our church building.  All fresh produce is donated to the St. Peter Area Food Shelf.  In past years we've grown lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, cucumbers and squash.  We need your help! 

FLC Food Shelf Garden Caretaker Sign-Up

First Lutheran's Food Shelf Garden is sponsored by the Green Committee. 
All produce from the garden will be donated to the St. Peter Food Area Shelf.

We invite you, as an individual member or family of our church, to sign up for one week of watering, weeding and harvesting.
Thank you for your willingness to serve in this way!
"The Lord will guide you continually...and you shall be like a watered garden,
​like a spring of water, whose waters never fail."  
Isaiah 58.11
