Nokomis Reads Book Discussion

In partnership with our Nokomis Neighborhood Association, Pastor John will be co-leading a book discussion @ the local library (5100 34th Avenue, Mpls). Our focus will be a recent work by Matthew Desmond entitled, Poverty, by America. It highlights the complexity of poverty in our nation, indicts both sides of the “political aisle,” and puts forth a number of common sense solutions. This adventure begins on Tuesday, May 28 @ Noon.
Crosstown Spring Grounds Clean-up Part 2

Hey church family & friends, you are invited to our second Grounds Clean-up at Crosstown. It’ll be on Saturday, June 1st, from 8:30 to Noon. You can help out with raking, pulling weeds, plopping plants in the ground, spreading mulch and beautifying our property! This is a great opportunity for kids, teens & adults to get involved. While we will have a few work tools available, you may want to bring your own rakes, shovels, hand spades, work gloves etc. from home. Come as long as you can, whether it's for only a few minutes or a couple of hours. We hope to see you on the 1st. Any questions, you can talk with or email Bob Weides (reweides@comcast.net).
On Sunday, June 2 we’ll welcome dear friends in Jesus from MN Adult and Teen Challenge. This dynamic ministry calls individuals from addiction to healing in Jesus Christ. We encourage you to make every effort to attend worship on this day and plan to stay for the meal that immediately follows worship
