Mass at 10 A.M. on Sunday, July 4, 2021 at the Lutheran Campus Center, our usual place! So good to be back in person with you!

July 25, 2021, Sunday–please mark your calendars and save as our Mary of Magdala Celebration on the Redig Farm and additionally as a day to celebrate all women as equally gifted by our loving God. There will be a pot-luck lunch following the Mass–watch for a sign-up list coming out soon!

Just so that you can plan and feel safe, the following will be in place for the time being:

• no hand-holding at the Our Father
• reception of communion in bread form only
• no physical expression (touch) at “kiss of peace” except among families–waves, smiles–fine!

Dear Friends,

Ordinary Time is the Church Time in which we now live and it is curious that the Church Fathers would name it as such, because every week there is much to be challenged by; unless “ordinary” at it’s heart should mean, “being Christian, true followers of our brother, Jesus!

Come; ponder all this and be with us, if you can this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. Please, never hesitate to call, 507-429-3616 or email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com if I can help in any way.

Mass in-person in our regular place this Sunday at 10 A.M. Come; join us! Until the children can be vaccinated, we are asking them to wear masks.

Just so that you can plan and feel safe, the following will be in place for the time being:

First in-person Mass this Saturday, June 19, 2021 at 4:30 P.M. at our regular place at the Lutheran Campus Center on Huff Street! If you are fully vaccinated, no need to wear a mask or to social-distance. If you are not vaccinated, you should wear a mask. Some people have told me that they will wear a mask anyway, as a personal choice and that is fine.

Dear Friends,

This is a wonderful time that is upon us as we prepare for the 12th Weekend in [Extra] Ordinary Time and our 1st in-person mass in 14 months! We are overjoyed and hope that many of you can join us this Saturday, June 19, 2021 at 4:30 P.M. at our regular place at the Lutheran Campus Center on Huff Street.

The message of this week’s scriptures is a simple one of trust and belief that our God is always with us and will never leave us.

Come; celebrate with us being together, physically, once again. Peace and love, Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We must “walk by faith” many times because we don’t often know how things will go, even after we have, as they say, “done our homework!”

Come; walk with us this week, trusting that Jesus, our brother will always show us the way.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
