Worship with us
Sundays, 10:45 a.m.
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” Here’s a song many of us have known just as long as we’ve known how to sing. We learned in the song not to hide it, or let it get blown out, and to share it all around the neighborhood. But what does it really mean to let your light shine? That’s our question during this season we call Epiphany. Come, worship with us this Sunday.
There's enough for everyone at Lake Nokomis Lutheran. We celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday—the individually-packaged cups are gluten free. If you're watching on the livestream, you're welcome to join us in Holy Communion by grabbing a cracker/bread and water/juice/wine for your meal.

Church together
"When Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church called me as senior pastor in the fall of 2020, New Branches was already blooming. This week the Minneapolis Synod released a story about New Branches. Among the many gratitudes, joys, decisions, and challenges navigated together, it's good to see a celebration of the New Branches partnership in this way." - Pastor Sara Read the story.
