The time after Epiphany is a season that is flooded with brightness and shadows, revelation and renewal. With joy we share with you Brightness + Shadows on Epiphany, an Evening Vespers Service for the time after Epiphany. Brightness + Shadows was created by Tree of Life Lutheran Church in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis and is led by Marissa Sotos, Nate Crary, Sarah Hanson, and Sophia Spiegel.

Join us at 11 a.m. in the Chapel of the Incarnation for our weekly Service of Holy Communion. Our preacher will be Dean of Students David Fenrick.

Please consider personal distancing as you seat yourself in the Chapel of the Incarnation.

If you can’t be there in person, you can join via Livestream.

The strategic planning design team is planning the final steps of the strategic plan before it goes to the board at the end of January.

The feedback from the last round went into the document, and now there are working groups of staff and faculty adding the action steps to the strategic objectives related to each of the goals. Please join us with your lunch via Zoom after Chapel. The Zoom link will be included in the community announcements email.

Please read this document prior to the listening session.

See you virtually and thank you.
