The Season of Pentecost
September 14th, 2025
Prayers of God’s People.
Lord, in your mercy . . . Hear our prayer. This coming week we lift up Molly Hicken & Paul Nordlund, Ari & Tib; Carol Krieger & Carol Toensing; Dave Renneisen; Tim & Tanya Goettl. May God walk with these faithful friends in their journeys of peace.
Our September Mission of the Month will support “Not Our Native Daughters,” a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the trafficking, exploitation, and murder of indigenous persons through education, policy shange, and coalition-building. Crimes against our native neighbors have been overlooked by the media and law enforcement for generations. Let’s be part of the solution. Click on the “Give” link above to donate.
A Memorial Service for Ginny Foster will be held Tuesday, September 23rd, at 1:30 p.m.
To Kill a Mockingbird is our next “banned books” read. We’ll gather on Wednesday, September 24th at 6 p.m. to discuss how we’re invited to respond to it as a Christian community.
We’ll Receive New Members September 28th. If you’d like to become a voting member of our congregation please see Pastor Tom.
Our Annual Meeting will follow worship on Sunday, October 12th.
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. If you’d like to receive these quick little essays about living the gospel in the midst of our daily routines, simply have Pastor Tom add you to our email list. All are invited to receive these meditations.
We are Partners in Ministry!

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.
