Dear Hennepin Community:
In this time of Epiphany, when we look for the Light of Christ in our midst, we also travel the unknown paths just as the Magi did so long ago. It is a time of cold and darkness and also holds the promise of spring's warmth and arrival. In the midst of this season I write to let you know of the deaths of two of our Hennepin community.
Ruth Sandt died on January 3, 2018. Ruth was a 70-year member of Hennepin and loved this church. In the last years she lived too far away to make it to church often but was particularly pleased to have been able to attend the 50-year member celebration this past fall. A service to honor Ruth's life was held January 12th at Woodale Church in Eden Prairie.
Loren Anderson passed away January 19th at Our Lady of Peace Hospice. Loren was a longtime member of Hennepin and was active in the care and preparation of the sanctuary for worship on Sunday mornings. A service to celebrate Loren's life will be Saturday, February 10th at 10:30am in the sanctuary.
As you make your way in this season of Epiphany, please hold these families in the warmth of your prayers and offer gratitude for these two amazing lives.
In blessings and peace,
Sally Howell Johnson
