Judson Hospitality Summit 

Saturday, June 29th, 10 am to noon - Ann Judson Room

 Why “Summit”? Summit – “a gathering of people who care deeply about the same topic.” A lot of folks care deeply about hospitality at Judson (it is one of our core values)! A lot of folks have ideas about how to “do” hospitality at Judson. Let’s create a plan to enhance hospitality at Judson by working together! As an added bonus, Polly will provide training for making coffee with the Bunn Coffeemaker. Please let us know if you can attend. – Contact Polly Schrom at  schrompolly@gmail.com.

Sacred Sites Tour Reflection & Discussion on June 30, 2024 at 10:45 am.

An opportunity for Judson folks and friends of Judson to reflect on our individual and common experience during and since the recent Sacred Sites Tour will be offered in the Ann Judson Room at Judson Church following the June 30, 2024 Sunday service. Participation in the tour is NOT a requirement for attendance at this event, so please come, share, learn, and expand your perspective on Minnesota’s history with the Dakota people. All are welcome to also attend the church service at 9:30 a.m. As background for the discussion, please refer to the links below to information on the Judson website:

Bright Future Report

On Sunday, June 9, we had the first of three summer forums on the topic of “Fashioning a Bright Future (for Judson) Together.” The forum was very well-attended and lively. Introductory information was presented, and reactions/ideas were discussed around table treats provided by Yin and Scott. Index cards for comments were collected, with the plan to make all this available to the entire church. So, printed copies of these are available in the back of the church or you can click on the links below.



10 Things we know about Judson and Fashioning a Bright Future Together

Our next two “Bright Future” forums are on the second Sunday of July and August (July 14 and August 11). Since Personnel and Property are our two largest church budget items, they will be topics of discussion. The goal of these three forums is to present information, generate discussion, and brainstorm ideas related to long-term planning for Judson (from today to 10 years from now). These forums will provide a foundation for long-term planning, which will occur between September 2024 and January 2025.

Thank you for your attention to this.

“Bright Future” Team: Diane, Scott, Brad, Karen, Joel, and Wayne
