Wild Church Monthly Gatherings

These gatherings will take place on the second Saturday of each month, from 2–3:30p (beginning Nov. 9), at Father Hennepin Bluff Park, 420 Main St. SE, by the bandstand. The Wild Church movement invites us to change the way we relate to the natural world. The gathering begins with grounding ourselves in scripture, poetry and song. Then we enter into a time of wandering and seeking conversation with the earth around us. We close with reflection, sharing and snacks. Bring a water bottle and a portable chair if you would rather not stand or sit on the ground. Wild Church is a joint ministry of University Lutheran Church of Hope, University Baptist Church and First Congregational Church or MN, UCC. Learn more about the Wild Church movement here.

All Saints Service, November 3

This reflective service includes the naming of our saints—those whose lives have been an example of faith in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.  As we prepare for the service, we invite  you to send a photo of a saint in your life to be included in a slide show that day, along with their name and a brief descriptive phrase.  Please send them to Maggie George.
