A possible reason for Good Friday’s moniker may be the holiday’s ties to Easter Sunday, which celebrates the resurrection of Christ. Because Jesus couldn’t have been resurrected without dying, the day of his death is, in a sense, “good.” This terrible Friday has been called Good Friday because it directly leads to the Resurrection of Jesus and his victory over death and sin and thus the celebration of Easter, the very pinnacle of Christian celebrations.
Join us in person or online for this somber evening service starting at 7 pm.

Join Michelle Lewis each week in the Easter season to explore the Bible texts that are coming up for the next Sunday in worship. Lots of opportunity to ask questions of the text, figure out what stands out, and what we might be missing; paying attention to historical, literary and other angles possible within the text. Holly will be there most weeks to listen in and hear what others are thinking too as part of sermon prep. Join on zoom once or come to them all.
No experience necessary. The ZOOM LINK is in the WEEKLY EMAIL or you can write to [email protected].
Serve/Share a Meal!
Spirit Garage volunteers will be providing and sharing an evening meal to the 21 individuals who are staying at Our Saviour’s Emergency Shelter. It’s super low-key.

If you need her info, you can write to [email protected].

Earth Day Cleanup
It’s Earth Day and it’s a good day to be outside, in touch with the ground, and participating in it’s care. Plus hanging out in our church neighborhood park. MLK park is at the corner of Nicollet and 40th; it’s a big park, but you can look for Debbie-she’ll be at a table there with other Spirit Garage folks and supplies for cleaning up. Wear an SG t-shirt if you have one!
A Different Lens with Felecia Boone
About once a month we have a guest speaker who is a faith leader that is also a person of color and/or queer, who speaks on a text that resonates with them in perhaps a different way than what has been traditionally taught down through the years. This month Felecia Boone will be our speaker. Felecia is a senior Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant with Hennepin County. She was educated through the Lutheran school system and volunteers as the Vice President of the Minneapolis Area Synod of the ELCA. She has worked in local government at the state and county levels for more than 25 years.
