This year is particularly powerful for me because Hennepin is hosting ordination on Wednesday evening. In our tradition, all clergy who are set apart for ordained ministry are ordained together. The world is our parish so we celebrate our ordination in community.
Thank you, Hennepin, for the ways you welcome holiness. Our volunteers, staff, and the Spirit are conspiring to offer grace at 511 Groveland. Our spire (more about that in the article below) speaks our conviction that faith worth living joins heaven and earth in joined witness.
And, please join us for a gathering in the sanctuary on June 11th where we will welcome Jim Wallis who holds the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Chair in Faith and Justice at Georgetown University. His recent book, "The False White Gospel" was recently released. As part of our desire to challenge Christian Nationalism we are blessed to welcome him.
We are a Cathedral of the Many in the midst of a world sore hungry for hope, beauty, and connection.
Hennepin Ave United Methodist Church, you welcome holiness. You are grace.
Thank you.
Pastor Elizabeth
