From Pastor Linda

|

One of the scribes asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." ~Mark 12
Greetings Friends!
I share these words from the Bishop of the St. Paul Area Synod- Patricia Lull:
On June 6th the season of Ramadan begins for our Muslim neighbors. From then until July 5th the members of that faith community will fast daily from dawn until sunset, allowing the discipline of this month-long fast to increase their awareness of human dependence on God and the particular needs of those who are poor. During Ramadan, members of the Muslim community break their daily fast with an evening meal called iftar...
Last month at the Synod Assembly we passed a resolution inviting all congregations and members to walk with respect and learn from the Muslim community, to seek ways to learn about the Islamic faith, and to pray for stronger relationships between Christians and Muslims. Making efforts to know and understand our neighbors, looking out for their well being and seeing them as gifted members of the human family is our Lutheran way. During Ramadan, I encourage you to find ways to express that regard for the Muslim community in Minnesota.
This Fall plans are underway to offer a connect360 Adult Education series on: My Neighbor is Muslim - Honoring Our Neighbor's Faith. How might we love our neighbor when their faith differs from ours? We can begin by being aware.
See you in church
at Lakeside Park in Downtown Forest Lake
