(
Hello, good people!) It's Tanzania Sunday! A day set aside in our calendar to celebrate the love of God that gives us brothers and sisters around the world and partners in Tanzania. Come see the brightly colored and beautifully textured fabric from Tanzania decorating the altar and sanctuary. Come hear the musical witness of our brothers and sisters from the Minneapolis Swahili-speaking Lutheran congregational choir. Come taste Tanzanian snacks and hear some of the experiences of our very own Jan Cockburn and Bill England and the story of Pastor Andrea, Pastor of the Minneapolis Swahili-speaking congregation who has just come back from a visit to Tanzania. As a Christian, wherever we go we have family. Come and get to know some of our global family better.
It just might change your life.
