Dear First Lutheran Community, May 31, 2020
Here we are in the midst of this pandemic with places of worship opening up in-person (we will not gather in-person, as safety is still our primary value). Then, in the midst of the chaos born of racism and economic disparity because of racism, we are seeing the chaos in the streets of St. Paul and Minneapolis.. To be clear, this is an uprising that is many years in the making and exacerbated by the recent killing of George Floyd. We must do more than say his name. While that is a beginning, we must get busy doing what we can to fight against this evil. Watch for posts in the weeks ahead with resources (books, websites, articles, and conversations) we need to all engage in to fight this evil that is racism. More to come....
To engage this week, May 31-June 6,
May 31, 10:00am YouTube Livestream worship from the sanctuary, John Petraborg on the organ (listen for prelude/postlude)
(subscribe to the You Tube First Lutheran Channel)
June 2, 10:00am and June 3, 7:00pm - Coffee Hour Zoom Times
June 4, 9:00am - Noon, Seeds of Hope Garden day in the courtyard (facemasks and distancing)
Continue to share the things you are doing that sustain you and give you life…keep on living love where you are.
