First Lutheran Midsummer at Ryssby
Worship Service & Picnic
Sunday, June 28, 2026
Worship is at 11:00 in the beautiful Ryssby Church. Then lunch, games and fellowship to follow! Ryssby Church is on 63rd, one mile south of Nelson Road.
Midsummer at Ryssby is First Lutheran’s annual church picnic and it is a great chance to get to know your church community. We will have lunch and fellowship following the worship service with grilled burgers, brats, and hot dogs, several sides, drinks, and ice cream treats.
There is a small charge for lunch tickets, $15 for Ages 13 to Adults, $5 for ages 5-12, and under 5 are free.
You will pay for your lunch tickets at Ryssby before or after the worship service. Please complete a lunch reservation for the 2026 Mid-Summer Lunch RSVP, and if you can help with setup and/or take down of tables and chairs from the First Lutheran or Ryssby Websites.

Children gather for a week of laughter, friendship, singing, Bible study, crafts, snacks and activities. Since 2021 we have collaborated with Bethlehem Lutheran Church and Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp in organizing this event.
This year’s theme is RAINFOREST FALLS, Exploring the Nature of God. Students will venture through the rainforest while exploring the Bible.
While making your summer plans please keep VBS in mind as a fun and interactive activity for your children! VBS is open to preschoolers (3 years old) to 5th graders.

Recent updates to keep you in the loop.
“From Foundation to Future” connects the generosity of previous generations to our current Mission priorities, just as our generosity will inspire future generations to share the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Thank you for being an integral part of First Lutheran Church and for your ongoing support of our congregation’s ministry. Congregations that maintain the strong Foundation established by our past members, while embracing the call to the Future Mission of First Lutheran, learn to celebrate the gifts that are already present, realizing they are sufficient to be Christ’s Church here and now.
We’re now into the time of year when we ask those of us with treasure to share to prayerful consider completing an Estimate of Giving for 2026. Every Estimate we receive helps your Budget Committee and Council develop the budget recommendations that are presented for approval at our Annual Meeting in January. We encourage everyone who can to provide an estimate, including our many members who give electronically.
Thanks in advance from your Stewardship Committee: John Oppenlander, Mary Hall, Milenda Powers, Pr. Garrett Struessel
