Worship with us: 'Love is the Law'

It’s all about love. Love is the law—this week we're talking about The Ten Commandments in detail. It's time to reframe the law. Let us worship and live with that law of love in our hearts. - Pastor Sara Spohr
​

Worship begins on Sundays at 9 a.m., or livestream from wherever you are. We celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday. Grab a cracker/bread and water/juice/wine for your meal.

After worship, stay for fellowship, coffee, and a snack in The Commons and Common Ground Cafe—10-11 a.m.

Church and state: Christian nationalism explained

Picture
presented by Pastor Rolf Olson and Dr. Nancy Koester

This is a three-church invitation. 
Lake Nokomis Lutheran, Living Table UCC, and Spirit Catholic Community are all welcome to RSVP.

Monday, July 25
6:30-8:30 pm
Two 45-minute sessions, one break 
New Branches Hall

​Session one explains what Christian nationalism is and why it matters. Session two explores who’s involved, what its components are, and ways we can respond.

American Christians have always struggled with the relationship between church and state. In recent years the alignment between right-wing politics and Christianity has taken on a new intensity in a movement called Christian nationalism.  

Christian nationalism strongly influenced the January 6, 2021 insurrection in Washington, D.C. This power grab co-opts the language and symbols of Christianity, deceiving many, and harming both our faith and democracy.

This event is organized by Lake Nokomis Lutheran.​

​
With rents up 17% and limited housing availability, people in Minneapolis are struggling to afford safe housing. More funding for affordable housing and rental assistance would mean fewer families choosing between rent and food, or risk homelessness.

We need a city that works for all of us. Join voices with Beacon congregations to learn about what can be done.
​


Three congregations. One home.

Picture
Our congregation has formed an innovative building partnership ​with Living Table United Church of Christ and Spirit of St. Stephen’s Catholic Community called New Branches. newbranchesmn.org The three faith communities share the renovated building and worship spaces—while retaining our individual faith identities. 

We imagine being able to do more together than we ever could separately. Learn more. 


Covid safety practices

There are members of all three congregations who have compromised immune systems. Thank you for wearing a mask on Sundays to keep everyone safe. 

​During the coffee and treat hour in The Commons, we ask that you pull your mask back up between sips and bites. 

​Limited exceptions do apply if you enter New Branches Monday-Saturday. We ask that you ask those around you, or your specific group, about their comfort levels with masks in mind.

Not masking up? You must agree.
