Safely Returning to In-Person Ministry
The Smart Team and Worship Planning Leaders met recently to review our status and consider updated guidance from the CDC and State of Minnesota regarding continuing safety precautions related to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. The teams acknowledged both the hopefulness attached to increasing access to vaccinations and but also the uncertain impact of increased virus variant spread.
The ROAD into the unKNOWN
Post-Easter worship series starts April 11 – As much as we long for a return to how it was before, we have to acknowledge that there are some things to which we can never fully return. Instead, we are being called somewhere new. We’re being called into a future that God has created for us, one where all that has held us captive, even death, no longer has power over us. And with this new freedom, God is expecting great things from us.

WORSHIP
