Tom Trenney is an excellent musician and instructor.

This is your reminder to sign up for our third Serving Through Song Webinar, now featuring Tom Trenney.

Scripture assures us that whenever two or more are gathered, Christ is in our midst. But often when two or more worship leaders are gathered, conflict and concern can be in our midst as well. Tom Trenney shares stories and ideas to help us nurture and sustain positive relationships with pastors, choir members, congregants, and colleagues as we live into our calling to music ministry.

Pastor Alan Storey to Offer a Manna & Mercy Retreat in Northfield

Who: All are welcome
When: April 24 - 25
Where: St. John Lutheran in Northfield

South African pastor Alan Storey takes a fresh look at scripture through the interpretive lens of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and God’s overall call for each one of us to partner with God in mending this fractured world - based on Daniel Erlander's book Manna and Mercy. The hope is that after we have done so, our interpretations and use of the scriptures will be truly liberating and life-enabling for all of creation.

Open to all.

Sliding fee scale.
Cost includes dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday.
Childcare will be provided for those who need it.
