Dear Friends,
The desecration of the land of the Anishinaabe peoples in Northern Minnesota due to Enbridge Energy s Pipeline 3 construction and tar sands oil transport, has been sitting heavy on my heart. Enbridge s reckless pursuit to expand Pipeline 3 under pristine lakes and rivers, including the Mississippi River headwaters, has already resulted in leak spills of both oil and toxic sludge on land and under the water bodies.
Registration is open for a Fall 2021 online course starting Tuesday Sept. 7th, Exploring Spiritual Practices, led by Marcelle Martin.
Join Friends around the world for worship, fellowship, practical skill building, and listening for our call. We ll share what is rising now. Are new priorities coming into focus? Are you exploring new approaches to our ministry? Do you feel a fresh sense of Call? Come away inspired, with insight and resources for effective ministry, vital faith formation, and fully multi-generational community. Click here for more conference information.
