Dear friends:
Black Lives Matter: In response to the horrifying murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, we join protesters in our city and nation in calling for racial justice and an end to police brutality. We pledge to continue doing our own inner and outer work toward more fully becoming an antiracist congregation and bringing an end to the 400-year old plague of systemic racism in our nation.
COVID-19: Our congregation has been worshiping together on-line since March 15. We are using our county’s current green phase to make careful plans and preparations for safely reopening our church in what we hope is the near future.
Sunday Worship: If you'd like to receive the link to our weekly on-line service, please send a note to Shannon Pipkin. Or you can listen to our weekly sermon on your phone by dialing 605-475-0195.
Community Meals: We continue to serve take-out meals and build relationships with our neighbors at our Community Meal every Monday from 5:00-6:00pm. Please join us!
Prayer: Members of our congregation gather (separately in our homes) every Wednesday morning at 8:00am to pray for the most vulnerable in our city, nation, and world. Please send a note to Shannon if you would like to receive more information about this weekly time of prayer.
Grace and peace,
Pastors Todd, Miriam, and Don
