About ArtWalk
F.A.T. Village (Flagler Arts & Technology Village) is home to some of the region’s most talented artists. Their studios, galleries and performance spaces are comprised of a series of unique buildings. Built in 1950, the incomparable construction of these industrial warehouses offers ideal space for artists, galleries and performers. The location and venues provide an array of options for film and television production, photography shoots, events and parties. F.A.T. Village is situated to the west of Andrews Avenue and the FEC railroad tracks, and bordered on the south by NW fourth Ave. and the north by NW sixth Ave.
Art Walks are held on the last Saturday of each month, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. These walks allow visitors to stroll through art galleries, open artist’s studios, prop warehouse, and even enjoy a street puppet show or a play in one of two theatres. With plenty of free parking, the walks are attracting hundreds of visitors to this evolving monthly event.

CityKids Worship Service
October 4th, 2011Before our 11:15am corporate worship service, children of all ages, gather upstairs at First Lutheran for a brief but interactive worship experience that includes music, a kids-offering, and a relevant message about Jesus. Parents are encouraged to worship with their children during this time and to benefit from the various resources designed to assist parents in bringing the reality of Jesus to their home.

CityGroups
August 20th, 2010
CityGroups are mid-sized gatherings of 15+ people who exist to rehearse the Gospel together, live it out to one another, and to be an extension of God’s love to our neighbors while serving the community around us. From each CityGroup will naturally flow smaller groups where people can find others to together follow the core Christian practices: worship, learning, confession of sin, and mission.
