Council is excited to hear First Lutheran Church will have our name appear on an “Adopt a Highway” sign on the stretch of Highway 119 from mile marker 59-61, southeast of Longmont. We will be setting a date for our “First” trash pick-up along this stretch and look forward to working in fellowship together on this community project. Watch for the new sign and the upcoming trash pick-up date.
