Save the Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026

On Sunday, November 1, we’ll be celebrating the publication of Carleen Gerber’s book of prayers, drawn from her many years of offering heartfelt and eloquent prayers Sunday by Sunday.  Each prayer is accompanied by a painting from Angie Falstrom, who also designed and published the book.  But our Sunday morning celebration has another purpose as well.  It has been 50 years since Carleen first began working at FCCOL, first as a part time organist, then as the director of music, and then as a minister.  Following the service, there will be a reception in honor of Carleen’s dedication to this church.  It is a chance to give thanks for the strong foundation of leadership she has given, helping to make us the vibrant community we are today.  We hope you’ll join us that morning, as we celebrate a book, a ministry, and a thriving faith community. Carleen’s prayer book will be available for purchase.
