In the wake of Kirk Ingram's spinal injury last summer, some people have asked how to be helpful for him, Melissa, and Alexa Jo. You can pray, you can donate, you can join the conversation, and you can offer your talents and gifts of home remodel, space for Alexa Jo to sleep during renovations, and more in order to prepare for Kirk's return home.

You can also be informed about spinal cord injuries and what life/recovery is like. You're invited to participate in an upcoming Adult Nurture Forum with guest speaker, Jennifer Theis. She is the Program Coordinator for Spinal Cord System of Care at Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute, one of the places Kirk has received care and rehab. Jennifer will speak with us about spinal cord injuries, the recovery process, and how people who love someone with a spinal cord injury can be as supportive as possible.

I hope as many of you can attend as possible; please help spread the word.

March 23

The Council of Bishops has invited each annual conference to host a 24-hour prayer vigil on a specific date, with the intent of creating a groundswell of prayer in the days leading up to the General Conference.

Churches, groups, and/or individuals are invited to sign up for a 15-minute period on that date when they commit to praying for God to guide delegates and church leaders as they prepare to discern how God is calling us to move forward as a denomination.

Thursday, March 24, at 12 Noon and 7 PM

Both services will celebrate communion and will anchored by prayer stations in several areas of the church...the Border Chapel, the Art Gallery, Carlson Hall and the Sanctuary. Similar to the Stations of the Cross, at each station worshippers will read scripture and pray at a photograph or piece of art that represents our Lenten theme of "Into Your Hands." Each station has been created by Hennepin artists and members.The noon service will end in the Border Chapel for communion and the 7:00 service will end in the sanctuary. Both services will begin in the East Entrance with a beginning prayer and blessing. At the evening service various musicians will be in the worship spaces offering the gift of music during our prayer. 

Please join us for this important time in our walk in Holy Week.
