Sacred Sites Tour

Don’t miss this special opportunity, May 18, 9:00 am-3:00pm


Tour of three local sacred indigenous sites led by Jim Bear Jacobs (Mohican), the Program Director for Racial Justice for the Minnesota Council of Churches. The intent of the tour is to learn about Minnesota history from the Native perspective, through silence, meditation, reflection, and hearing stories. We will board a bus together to take us from site to site: Fort Snelling State Park, Dakota internment camp following the Dakota-U.S. War, and Pilot Knob Hill, a traditional burial ground.


Cost: $20/person. Includes bus and tour fee. Bring your own lunch and beverage. Though not appropriate for young children, we encourage high school age and above. (Perhaps for independent learning credit?)


Sign Up Before May 1: The maximum number of participants is 50, and we need 50 to keep the cost at this level. Open now to Judson members and friends. On May 1, registration will be opened up to Trust Churches and the Kingfield neighborhood.


Call the office or sign up in the back of the sanctuary. Your $20 payment reserves your spot.


Scholarship aid is available upon request. Contact Eileen in the church office.


Tour sponsored by our Racial Justice Team; supported by the Judson Gordon Smith Fund.

Meals on Wheels - Did you know that we serve frozen meals to over 75 clients every week? We deliver those meals in handled paper bags, so, we always need HANDLED paper bags. If you have anything to donate, please drop off at Judson Church, 4101 Harriet Ave S. There is a yellow covered bin by the red door where paper bags can be placed anytime. Thank you!

Volunteer Opportunities:

 Tell your story!

We would love to hear your story – volunteer to do a Personal Reflection in worship! Contact Karla Forsyth at karlamcgray@hotmail.com

 

Worship Readers are needed!

Be a part of Judson’s worship experience – volunteer to be a Worship Reader! The Worship Reader will be involved in sharing Judson’s Land Acknowledgement, the first lesson of the morning (scripture or contemporary), and reading the prayer intents with Carolyn. The role requires a clear and articulate voice and the ability to convey the emotion and meaning behind the words, helping the congregation to engage with the service on a deeper level. We need you! Contact Polly Schrom at schrompolly@gmail.com
