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.

One home, three churches—a shared Christmas in Minneapolis

Picture
"Silent Night." "O Come All Ye Faithful." "Away in a Manger." The songs were familiar as they cut through the cold air, but for the singers, the tradition was a new one.

The night of caroling was shared by members from three separate Minneapolis churches that have come together to create a shared home. For the first time, Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church, Living Table United Church of Christ and Spirit of St. Stephen's Catholic Community will celebrate Christmas under one roof.

Church together

Picture
"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

Lake Nokomis Lutheran is the only church that will change their masking policy starting Sunday, January 29. This applies inside the Large Sanctuary. There's no change to the common space policy—mask until you're inside the Large Sanctuary and before leaving the Large Sanctuary.
