Got Questions? Have an Opinion? Here's the first of many chance to talk about our pastoral transition at FLC. Pastor Dana will host initial conversations about our transition process on two Sundays, October 5 and 26 between services [in the library]. We'll get the conversation started about what ‘s working at FLC, what we can do better, what our staff should look like when the transition is over, and the steps it will take to get there. PD will talk a bit about the interim process, but mostly he wants to hear what the congregation is saying and what everyone wants to know.
