Adult Faith Formation - Taking Moral Action and the Political Community - Sunday, October 19
We begin a three-week series on Spirituality of the Arts. The first week will focus on personal remarks and showing of art works by St. Olaf faculty members, Michon Weeks and Anda Tanaka.
Tim Goodwin will facilitate.

Creation Care Step | October 19
40% of food goes to waste in the US. On a global basis, such waste accounts for 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Reduce waste by eating less and composting what remains. Increase vegetables and legumes over meat.

November 3-8: Meals On Wheels
Northfield United Methodist Church is responsible for delivering Meals on Wheels in November. A sign-up sheet is available on the welcome desk. Thanks to all who are willing to help with this task. Dennis and Marge Randolph, NUMC coordinators.

Children’s Church
After the children’s message, kids pre-K through 5th grade will move to their own time and space for faith formation. We’re using Road Trip—a creative and engaging curriculum that helps children explore faith in ways that connect to their everyday lives.
