Making friends for Jesus

Welcome!

The family at First Lutheran Church invites you to get to know us. We've served the neighboring community for over 75 years, offering friendship, a helping hand, prayer, and sharing the simple truth that God is here today with everything for life in ABUNDANCE!

First Lutheran's members are active serving the community, supporting our Preschool, and working together as friends and neighbors through our church family. Please call our Church Office at (925) 671-9942 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information or for Pastoral support.

First Lutheran is currently "between Pastors" but we are most fortunate to have Reverend Dann Ettner serving as interim Pastor.  Reverend Ettner has served many years as a congregational Pastor, and recently retired as a senior Army Chaplain.

Last year First's Pastor accepted a Call to serve Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Carson City, NV, a fine church with school that has been operating without a permanent Pastor for quite some time. While we seek a new Pastor we are supported by stong and faithful Congregational leadership, nearby sister congregations, and our District Office in Livermore. 

Worship Services are each Sunday at 9:30 am, with Holy Communion. Please join us at Worship or at any of our activities so we can get to know each other better.

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other." – John 15:15-17

2017 Thanksgiving Meal Preparations

2016 GTaT logoNovember is approaching quickly, and turkeys are planning their escape.  Yes, First Lutheran is hosting a feast on Thanksgiving Day again this year, and all are welcome!

Volunteers from area churches and the community have offered this traditional, sit-down, all-the-fixings Thanksgiving meal, now in its 12th year.  Everything from fresh salad, to warm, juicy turkey, to desert and coffee is lovingly prepared and served by these volunteers at no cost or obligation to anyone wanting a hot meal and friendly smile.

Details on this year's meal will be announced shortly, and the steering committee is well into preparations. If you would like to volunteer to help with this event, please use our "SignUpGenius" page at:

www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0C45AAAB2CA1F85-giving

Would you like to contribute financially to help fund the meal?  CLICK HERE or on any of the "Simply Giving" links to go to our online gift/donation service.  Please designate your gift to the "GTAT" (Giving Thanks at Thanksgiving) fund.

As in the past, we are collecting specific clothing items to distribute on Thanksgiving to those in need. A list of what's needed and where to bring them will be posted in the near future.

Thank you for your help and please keep preparations for the meal, the volunteers, and those partaking of the meal in your prayers, and that the meal will be a blessing to all.
