UPCOMING EVENTS
MN Healing Stories Sacred Sites Tour
Be part of healing Minnesota by visiting Dakota sacred sites and learning stories of the Dakota people, stories that make invisible pain visible. These stories invite us into a shared reality, fostering deeper connection and understanding of the Dakota people. “Both the listener and storyteller are healed through their actions in storytelling.”
Churches and faith communities can promote healing by embracing history and listening to Native stories. As we engage with these stories, we shift our focus from ourselves to others. Through this tour we will get a glimpse of how much greater and more creative God is than we may have previously understood.
This event is open to up to 50 people who are involved with the Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities community, high school age and above. Thanks to a grant from the Bethlehem Foundation, the cost for this event is only $20/person.
We will start and finish the day at Spirit Garage, so folks can carpool to the different sites we will visit.
Bring a lunch with you and a chair that you can carry if you need to sit at times during the tour.

Life Together Book Discussion week 5 of 5
The whole of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities is participating in this theme, so we will join the book discussion at Bethlehem Lyndale campus (in Langemo room). Professor Gregory Walter from St. Olaf will lead us through the chapters with a presentation along with time for discussion and questions.
This autumn at Spirit Garage we will explore “Life Together,” through the lens of a short and insightful book by Deitrich Bonhoeffer that wrestles with what Christian community looks like. Christian community isn’t an “ideal” community that always behaves the way you want it to, but it is a “Spiritual” community that is sometimes messy.
Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran Theologian in Germany during WW2, where he was one of the people who started the “confessing church,” which arose in resistance to Nazi Germany, which desired to have a unified, pro-nazi German-Evangelical Church (a form of Christian Nationalism). Bonhoeffer wrote “Life Together” while he taught at an underground seminary.
