August Worship Series: Faith & Film
This August, join us for Faith & Film as we explore how stories on the screen can deepen our understanding of God's story. Each week we'll pair a popular film with Scripture, discovering themes of courage, identity, belonging, hope, and God's presence in our lives.
To get the most out of the series, we encourage you to watch the movies ahead of time—or revisit an old favorite!
August 16: Encanto
August 23: Inside Out 2
Then, on August 30, we'll celebrate Faith on a Stick! As Minnesota gathers for the Great Minnesota Get-Together, we'll explore the biblical connection between food, celebration, and gratitude. From harvest festivals to shared meals, Scripture reminds us that God delights in bringing people together.

Job Openings
Northfield United Methodist Church is seeking a part-time Children’s Ministries Director/Coordinator (10–15 hours/week) to help nurture the faith and community life of children in an inclusive, intergenerational congregation.
Unlock Support for Youth: Stock The L.O.C.K.
On Sunday, August 30, The Key’s Executive Director, Kelli Podracky, will be with us during worship to share a Mission Moment about The Key’s new initiative, The L.O.C.K. (Life Skills, Opportunity, Counseling, and Knowledge), and some of their basic needs for donations. But we don’t need to wait until then to begin our collection!
The LOCK is a trusted place where youth can find counseling and support—and also food and basic necessities. As one of their therapists reminded me this week, “Hungry kids don’t think well or make good decisions.”
Items especially needed: deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, acne cream and pimple patches, small packages of Kleenex, small bottles of water, juice boxes, granola bars, trail mix, and other individually packaged snacks.
Bring your donations to church beginning this Sunday. Small things can make a real difference.
