• Joint liturgy with our sibling community, First Congregational Church, October 5, 2025 at 10 A.M. We will meet in their liturgical space, and this will be a joint communion service as this Sunday is World Communion Sunday for Protestant churches. Pastor Danielle and I have prepared what I believe is a lovely, unifying service which I hope many of you will be able to attend. If you are attending and would like to join their choir for this event, you are most welcome, but must arrive by 8:45 A.M. to practice. If you can’t physically be with us, there is the opportunity to live-stream the event – simply go out to First Congregational church in Winona, Minnesota, and you will find instructions for joining in.
• Please never hesitate to call, 507-429-3616, or email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com if I can help you in any way.

Dear Friends,

What Pastor Danielle and I are attempting this week, a joint Communion Service would most likely not be done in any Catholic church community other than ours or perhaps other women-led communities, but I believe that our brother Jesus would approve. The theme that the Protestants have chosen for their World Communion Sunday, “That all may be one…” John 17: 20-23 is the same Scripture passage where the name for our community comes from – this, I feel is significant!

So, my friends, come; be with us this Sunday, in person, or life-stream to celebrate “God with us,” in this special way.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
