Welcome




elcome to First Lutheran Church of Decorah!  We invite you to join us for worship and fellowship, to share in the blessed comfort of God’s grace. Through worship, service, and education, we practice our faith, grow our relationship with God and experience God's grace in our lives.




Help Wanted

We are looking for a few more folks who would be willing to volunteer to serve as ushers and to help prepare communion for the 10:30 service. Preparing communion is a behind the scenes task, but it is critical because it allows us to actually drink the wine on 2 Sunday's per month.

Serving as an usher puts you in the wonderful position of being able to welcome everyone to worship with a friendly smile and a bulletin. Ushers also straighten up the pews, count those in attendance, and bring in the stop sign following the second service. Please let one of the pastors or Monica know if you could help. Many thanks!




Donations Request


Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI) requests your generous donation of winter clothing for our local children (infant through teenagers), many of which lack coats and boots.
Our office is located at 911 S. Mill St. Suite 2 (the green Iowa Extension Office building). If you have any questions, please call the office, (563) 382-5395 or Barb Fay (563) 380-1895. Thank you for sharing your many blessings with those less fortunate in our community!



We invite families to join us for a wide range of events including hay rides, Sunday school, and worship. Come, join our community! Here are just a few of the great activities available:
