Worship This Sunday!

TONIGHT! Plan to attend this annual event at Veteran's Park on Thursday, May 24th at 5pm to celebrate all the different cultures in Richfield and meet some of our neighbors in the process. There will be FREE food, crafts for kids, dancers, story-telling, music and cultural displays of art, instruments, games, books and more put together by Richfield residents. Come check it out! 

All youth finishing up 5th-9th grade this spring are invited to join Summer Stretch on Thursdays in June, July, & August. The youth helps serve the community in the morning through projects at elder care centers, food shelves, parks, and more. In the afternoon, they will do a fun activity, like bowling, beach, or mini golf. The summer finishes with a trip to Valley Fair! If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this program, contact Ben Whalen ( [email protected] or 612-500-9523).

Come join us at 11am in Parish Hall for this dynamic worship experience and lunch! The topic is Sabbath Rest is for Restoration and Freedom. Sign up on the attendance card or talk with Pastor Ben ( [email protected]) if you can help with food for FEAST. Don't miss it!

The housing nonprofit Aeon purchased the Season's Park Apartments just south of church this past year and are now working to address years of previously ignored maintenance needs. They'd like community help with some basic landscaping projects to clean up and beautify the complex so residents can be proud to call it home. Join us after church on Sunday, June 10th, from 12:30-3:00pm. No landscaping experience necessary and all ages can help out! Lunch will be provided for all volunteers, please sign up with Ben Whalen by June 3rd ( [email protected] or 612-500-9523).

As the warm spring sunshine encourages new growth, we too are encouraged to "get back out there" and turn some soil in God's Creation.  The HOP community garden is always welcoming new ideas and helpers.  After several years as dedicated VEAP gardeners, Sandy Jenson and Kim Houle would like to pass the pitchforks to someone new who may have a future vision for what this urban garden can be.  If you are interested in managing or helping please contact Kim Houle at 612-558-0634.
