M&M's for World Hunger

Visit the Red Wall to grab a tube of M&M’s. These tubes will quickly move from feeding our sweet tooth to feeding the hungry; from celebration to Lenten giving. Each tube holds $14 of quarters (cash and checks fit too). Our goal is to raise $7,000 for ELCA World Hunger. Please return M&M tubes on or before Maundy Thursday.

Wednesday Adult Learning - Begins Feb. 21

If you feel a little overwhelmed by the turbulence and darkness of spirit all around us; if you are looking for a way to re-orient yourself in a changing world; if you want to make Lent 2018 a time of spiritual renewal, you are invited to participate in a study called Radical Spirit. For five Wednesday evenings, beginning on February 21, we will gather to study freedom and authenticity in the Christian Life. The sessions will begin at 7:15 pm led by Pastor Tim Olson. The study is based on a book by one of the most well-known and artful spiritual teachers of our age, Joan Chittister. Her book, Radical Spirit will be our guide. You can purchase the book and read along or you can just follow along with the discussion. We will have some of the books available for purchase. Do something for your soul this season of Lent. Come and join us.
