Shower FLCC
A lot of times when you give to the church you don’t necessarily know what your money specifically goes to pay, well the shower FLCC program works to provide an opportunity for someone to give a specific need item to the church. On a shower FLCC Sunday, our bulletin board will be filled with the needs of the church, daycare, and preschool and then those items are returned two weeks later. If you are interested in learning more about this or getting involved with our Shower FLCC events please contact Sharon Bacon at retiredbacon@gmail.com
