 Our third year of FLCcamp was a great success.  Missi, Jess,  Analie, Jr., Buddy, Hannalou, and Max did a great job with 38 kids over the summer vacation.  Their activities included:  VBS lessons and songs, their summer rec programs, field trips, playing in the rain, sandbox, basketball, kickball, slip & slide fun, and even some of the community events.   Thanks for all the support that was received from our community. This is only one of the donations that these kids made from the proceeds from their lemonade stand and car wash. They also made bracelets and pictures to make money to donate to the Honor Flight.  Great job by all!!

 Our little library is a gift to the children who live near or visit Battle Lake, a resort community.  It only contains kids' books and will at times include card games or board games.  Its purpose is the same as any library: to encourage reading!  It was built by members of our church and decorated by 5th and 6th graders in our WAFL program. (Wednesdays at First Lutheran).  Come and check it out.  If you want to donate to this, please feel free. 

Wednesday At First Lutheran

  We welcome children Pre-K through 6th grade to come and  join us for our Wednesday after-school Program.

We promote Faith Formation through music, Bible lessons, fun activities & fellowship. 

After school snack is provided.

WAFL Students also participate in monthly service project that ranges from local charities to global missions. 

First Lutheran Men’s Fellowship meets at 8:30 AM on the first Thursday of the month at the Lake Cafe.  Battle Lake. Men of the congregation are invited for fellowship and Bible Study.  The Men’s Fellowship supports several projects: Food Shelf, Lutheran Social Service, Ronald McDonald House, also helping work on homes for Habitat for Humanityand the Salvation Army.  The men serve an annual breakfast, collect aluminum cans, and participate in area functions: Such as our annual Brat Stand at the Arts in The Park Day.  

WELCA stands for Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Our WELCA hosted the Conference 7 Spring get together.  There was a great attendance with guest speakers and a very nice meal.  Our main speakers showed a lot of the things that they are working with in countries in Africa to help in teaching people the different things to be able to do many more things themselves.  Our WELCA  group is also putting together layette sets and quilts to go to Lutheran World Relief to help many others in need.

The council governs the activities of the church.  It's made up of volunteers including a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary.  Each board member also is involved in the leadership of the other mentioned Ministries.

We participated in the first Battle Lake  National Night Out with having minnow races for all.  What a great turnout for our community

Activities at First Lutheran Church in Battle Lake could not be possible without volunteer opportunities.  We have many committees who help with specific needs.  Some of these include:

Altar Guild
