Prayers of God’s People.

Our May Mission of the Month will support Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota. LSS embodies neighbors helping neighbors, providing services that inspire hope, change lives and build community by supporting Minnesotans through a comprehensive range of services and networks in all 87 Minnesota counties. LSS’ work is grounded in two principles: God loves all people without condition and God yearns for us to love our neighbors. These principles help assure that children and families have safe and stable homes, people with disabilities have access to services, and older adults have opportunities to participate in community life.

We’re not afraid to Read Banned Books! Pastor Tom will lead a book group this summer exploring three books often challenged and banned in school libraries. We’ll read and discuss “The Diary of Anne Frank,” “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and “Of Mice and Men.” Details to follow . . .
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!
