Life Together Book Discussion week 1 of 5
The whole of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities is participating in this theme, so we will join the book discussion at Bethlehem Lyndale campus (in Langemo room). Professor Gregory Walter from St. Olaf will lead us through the chapters with a presentation along with time for discussion and questions.
This autumn at Spirit Garage we will explore “Life Together,” through the lens of a short and insightful book by Deitrich Bonhoeffer that wrestles with what Christian community looks like. Christian community isn’t an “ideal” community that always behaves the way you want it to, but it is a “Spiritual” community that is sometimes messy.
Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran Theologian in Germany during WW2, where he was one of the people who started the “confessing church,” which arose in resistance to Nazi Germany, which desired to have a unified, pro-nazi German-Evangelical Church (a form of Christian Nationalism). Bonhoeffer wrote “Life Together” while he taught at an underground seminary.
Word.
We explore the Bible texts that are coming up for the next Sunday in worship. Ask questions of the text, notice what stands out and what we might be missing; pay attention to historical, literary and other angles possible within the text.

Paddle the St. Croix: Taylor’s Falls to Osceola
It’s that time of year again! Let’s kayak the St. Croix together! If you’ve never been this is a great time to go. It is important for you to be fit enough to get in and out of a kayak or canoe, but the actual kayaking is not difficult.
Most folx will meet at Spirit Garage and then carpool to Taylors Falls, with the hopes of getting on the water around 2 pm. We will paddle to Osceola State Park and shuttle back to Taylors Falls. Bring your own late afternoon snack/supper and we’ll picnic at the park after our paddle. Then we’ll find some place for ice cream in Taylor’s Falls. Sounds like an amazing day, right?
Contact Peter Wemeier who will coordinate rides and help coordinate kayaks/canoes, etc. There are boats available for rent: $37/single kayak, $52 double kayak or canoe. Additionally everyone will need to pay $20 for the shuttle ride. We have access to some boats of our own, mostly through Peter.
If you want to go on this adventure but aren’t sure you can pay for it, talk to us and we’ll work this out with funds from the church and/or a seat in one of the extra boats available. Cool? Cool.

Coffeehouse Worship at Spirit Garage
At our Coffeehouse Worship, we take a sacred theme and curate poetry, music and art around it. This looks a little different than our regular worship.
