Wednesdays in Lent
Join us this year as we explore Peace Practices on Wednesday evenings, through March 25. These weeks of Lent give us an excellent opportunity to take a bit of time to consider different aspects that make for peace in our hearts, our homes, our community, and our world. Worship begins each week at 7:00 p.m. Supper is served each week by a Shepherding Group from 5:30 – 6:30. Come and share in this reflective journey!

Join Local Selma Commemorative March
Fifty years ago, members from diverse faith communities answered Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to show up in Selma, Alabama, and support black civil rights protestors who were putting their lives on the line for the right to vote. Please join us for a local march commemorating the Selma Marches of 1965, and the interfaith movement that supported them. Meet at the Minnesota State Capitol on Sunday, March 8, at 2 p.m. The march will cross the Cedar Street Bridge over I-94, recalling the Selma marchers who crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The march will end at Central Presbyterian, 500 Cedar Street, with a program to follow. This is an important time to remember this major turning point in the U.S. Civil Rights struggle — and to underscore the Civil Rights work that still needs to be done.
