Worship is on the road this week at the Minnehaha Pavilion at Minnehaha Falls Regional Park, right by Minnehaha Falls, and just down the sidewalk from Sea Salt restaurant. Come for worship at 10:30 and stay for the annual Potluck Picnic. We will provide hamburgers and hotdogs grilled by our “Ministers of Fire.” If you are able, bring something to share, or sign up to bring buns or beverages.
This is one worships service where your dogs are welcome! You have to pay to park, so it is also a good day to carpool, take the train or bike. Bring sunscreen and water bottles!
This month for 3rd Thursday, we’ll go to Luther Seminary for a Dear Church St. Paul Party
Lenny Duncan is a pastor, writer, speaker and activist, and he’s written a book called “Dear Church: A Love Letter to the Whitest Denomination in the US.” (and that “Whitest Denomination” is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America…the kind of Lutheran that Bethlehem is, and Holly is, and Spirit Garage sort of is.) Lenny is coming to St. Paul to do a reading of #DearChurch as well as a Q and A. There will be some wine and some cheese, and book signing.
If you are interested in going, contact Holly right away. She has ten tickets available for free. After that, there may be tickets available through Eventbrite for $10. But first check with Holly!
Once a month following Sunday worship, we go to All Square for Grilled Cheese. All Square is a restaurant and institute that employs and educates formerly incarcerated folks to set them up for success now that they are “All Square” with the law. It’s an amazing place with about 15 different kinds of grilled cheese!
