Besides time to share and get to know one another, there are topics introducing or reviewing aspects of the Christian faith. Topics may include, however are not limited to: worship as the core of life together, the life of Jesus, Lutheran church practice, ethical issues, and this church community. The group is a springboard for participation in the life of the FLCR community.
