The Season of Epiphany
February 1st, 2026
Prayers of God’s People.
Lord, in your mercy . . . Hear our prayer. This coming week we lift up Andrea & Karla Pankow; Carla Menssen; Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry; Bishop Amy Odgren. May God walk with these faithful friends as they share their Epiphany stories.
Our February Mission of the Month will help provide food for families living near the front in war-torn Ukraine. Dave Nonnemacher will be in Ukraine next month with supplies for desperate families. Our gifts will be used to purchase food to help them. Use the “GIVE” button above to donate.
Ash Wednesday is February 18th. We’ll gather at 5:15 p.m. for a soup & bread supper followed by our 6:00 p.m. service of prayer, song, and the imposition of ashes as we begin our shared journey to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
You are invited to participate in the life of the church regardless of your sexual orientation, gender expression, political leanings, religious affiliation, immigration status, or attitude toward lutefisk. We are a community of faith made up of imperfect people seeking the mystery of God’s love together; a church where beginners are welcome, forgiveness is proclaimed, inclusion in promised, and hope comes alive.
Start Off the Day With a Morning Meditation. Pastor Tom emails a short meditation each day of the week.

We acknowledge that we live and worship on the traditional lands of our indigenous neighbors. We honor that we are able to build a community that reflects the culture and values of our immigrant forebears because the Ojibwe Nation gave us permission to do so through a series of treaties.
