In the Loop; In the Spirit

Monday, July 28th 6-8pm: Bowling at Park Tavern! It’s $13/person for all the games you can handle!

Sundays at 7: Every Sunday at 7:00pm at First Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park. Young Adults from the community come together for reflective worship, songs, and messages from Pastors around the community.

Monday, August 4th, 7-8:30pm: Young Adult Gathering. We’re getting together for some snacks, conversation, and to watch a pretty sweet Nooma Video. Directions: e.benham@westwoodlutheran.org

Interfaith Conversation
Our first meeting with the Young Adults at the Adath Jeshurun Congregation went very well. It was a great opportunity to meet new people that live in our community and also learn more about the Jewish faith. Both groups expressed a high level of interest in future gatherings, so we are planning to meet again at Westwood on TUESDAY AUGUST 12. We will plan to meet in the Westwood Room at 7:30 PM.
As was the case with our last gathering, we would like to keep the number of people from each group relatively even, if possible. Therefore, we would really appreciate if you could RSVP by Tuesday, July 29th so we can coordinate with Adath. An email works great or a phone call to either Brooks or Bridget would work as well.

Exploring Call

August 10, 4-8 p.m., First Lutheran Church, 5801 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park

WHO DO YOU KNOW who might be thinking about becoming a rostered leader in the ELCA? Do you know people who should be? Good! Now Invite them all (or send them, if you can’t be there) to an afternoon mini-retreat where no-obligation discerning, imagining, and questioning are what it’s all about.

Bible study and teaching, mutual conversation, prayer and worship shape the experience.
