SFLC 10th Anniversary

On the first Sunday of October, in the year 2000, Sure Foundation held its first organized worship service in an apartment building in Astoria, NY. Twelve people attended the worship service and one dog. As the people gathered in that small apartment, there were hopes, dreams, and faith in our Savior.

God has blessed the ministries of Sure Foundation in his time and in his way over the past 10 years. Our hearts are so thankful for all that our God has done to preserve us in faith, life, and doctrine.

Over the next month, we will celebrate our 10 years of bringing the pure gospel to New York City and in particular, to Woodside, Queens. We will celebrate by remembering those teachings that are distinctly Lutheran: the "solas" of the Lutheran reformation.

Sunday Service and Bible Study Themes:

  • September 12: By Grace Alone (Sola Gratia)
  • September 19: By Faith Alone  (Sola Fide)
  • September 26: By Scripture Alone (Sola Scriptura)
  •      October 3: By Christ Alone (Solus Christus)

Our worship service on October 3 will be the culmination of our 10th Anniversary celebrations. One of the founding pastors, Rev. Aaron Robinson, will be our guest preacher at a bilingual (Español/English) worship service at 10:30am followed by a reception with light refreshments, and a short slideshow presentation of SFLC's history. We will also unveil our finished "Fellowship Artwork" mosaic.

Please join us to celebrate God's grace to us over the last ten years and his continued love for our future!

  1. Hi, just stumbled across your blog and website today, and it's great to read the encouraging stories here! As a fellow WELS member in an urban mission setting, and because I remember reading an article about your very new mission after 9/11, I find myself thinking and praying about your mission sometimes. And now you are celebrating 10 years, how fabulous! Praying tonight for God's continued blessings!
