Mark Your Calendars!
Remember you have a voice! Come ready to pray, learn and give your input as parishioners come together to discuss and give feedback on priorities within each of the following Synod focus areas.
- Parishes that are in the service of evangelization;
- Missionary disciples who know Jesus’s love and respond to his call; and
- Youth and young adults in and for a Church that is always young.
We invite you to join our small groups for Thursday sessions through October 28. We will offer afternoon sessions from 1:00-3:00 pm and evening sessions from 7:00-9:00 pm. Meetings will be in Fellowship Hall. Registration is available (but not required). You can also contact Mary Nawrocki at mnawrocki@immac-church.org or 763-788-9062 x 210 for more information.
In the meantime, pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide and inspire His people. “Come Holy Spirit, Come!”
