Worship with us: God promises
Does anybody have a map for life? We’ve had to reimagine a new route for virtually every aspect of life, including faith. In worship, we’ll tell the story that has been told and retold for generations. It’s a story that has become a road map to the ways God makes, keeps, and doubles down on the promise of love, blessing, and hope.
We'd love to see you in Sunday Worship at 9 a.m. There's enough for everyone at Lake Nokomis Lutheran. We celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday—individually-packaged cups are gluten free. Grab a cracker/bread and water/juice/wine for your meal.

Blessing New Branches Celebration on Sunday
Dear Lake Nokomis Lutheran, Living Table UCC, and Spirit Catholic Community, we invite you to come together as the New Branches Community* for a celebration of our shared ministry.
Blessing New Branches
Sunday, October 2
11:30 a.m.–1 p.m.
Large Sanctuary, The Commons, and New Branches Parking Lot
11:30 a.m. Watch the livestream.
As we mark this time together, we'll see a tree planted in our shared New Branches Courtyard, and we'll engage in prayer, song, and reflections. Stay for fellowship and soup after the blessing.
*The New Branches Community is Lake Nokomis Lutheran, Living Table UCC, and Spirit Catholic Community together at New Branches, newbranchesmn.org. We share a newly-renovated building of worship and common spaces while retaining our individual faith identities. Our three faith communities are drawn together by a shared call to justice, and the knowledge that we can do much more together and have a greater impact in the community. Building ownership and management is equally shared.

It’s an exciting time to anticipate the significant connections and faith experiences ahead. Create a new habit, find meaning for today’s world, and feel the in-person love of your faith community.
