• Coming to Lowry City... Summer of 2019!
  

  Mission Lowry City returns in 2019!  We did a Mission Lowry City in 2009, helping homeowners in and around Lowry City get their homes in better shape and function!  In coming weeks we will solicit area homeowners to let us know how we can be a blessing to them... anything from roof repair, painting, tree service, to ???

  All this is done free of charge so that we can demonstrate and share the gospel of Christ with our neighbors!   Contact the church at 417.644.2942 and leave your name, phone number and brief description of your need.

  We look forward to a great "Mission Lowry City!"

• Weather Policy
  

  We will try to notify folks of a cancellation right here in the Announcements at firstlowrycity.com as soon as we know we are cancelling.

  If you see no cancellation notice, then we are having services.  Your local roads or area may be unsafe to travel on even though roads around the church are passable so always use your own discretion on getting out in inclement weather.  Don't feel you have to get out "cause they're having church".

  We will also text and contact by phone those who are signed up on the FBCLC Prayer Chain.

  Thanks!

• "Here Comes Joe" is back after 25 years!
  

  Over 25 years ago Joe Brownd and Jeff Ferguson put together a gospel tract to distribute at the Wings Over Houston airshow in 1992.  The tract is done in memory of USAF Capt. Douglas L. Bradt, who was killed in action during Operation Desert Storm.  Doug was a dear friend of theirs that sought to share the gospel that changed his life.
