This is the first in a series of events gathered around the theme of Racial Justice. Attend one, or all – each is a stand-alone session, but most meaningful when experienced as a whole. The series includes two workshop/discussion sessions facilitated by a trained YWCA leader, and an optional book study for those who wish to go deeper into this important topic.
Dinner begins at 5:30 – workshop at 6:00 p.m. For registration, follow link below for a drop down menu of options (number attending dinner, number attending workshop, childcare?- if yes, age of child). Remember, all no cost.
All men invited for food, some devotions, and fellowship!
Polish pews, dust, and deep clean the sanctuary on Saturday, April 13, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Come for an hour (or more) and polish a pew or two; help us make the sanctuary sparkle for Holy Week and Easter!
One of GA Minister of Worship and Music Phil Holzman’s professional goals for 2019 is to learn or re-learn a major piece of organ literature each quarter this year and present a brief organ concert after worship. The first of these concerts will happen on April 14 when he will share Chorale in E Major by César Franck (1822-1890). Everyone is invited to get a snack and a beverage and return to the sanctuary at 11:00, even taking a seat in the choir loft for an up close and personal experience, to enjoy this brief organ concert. We’ll all be on our way by 11:30.
Join Monday Night Book Club as we participate in GA’s April discussion about racial justice. On Monday, April 15, we will discuss the introduction and first two chapters (essays) of A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota edited by Sun Yung Shin. This book is a compilation of essays written by 16 Minnesota authors. Read about their different perspectives of what it is like to live as a person of color in Minnesota.
We will meet downstairs at 7:00 p.m. on April 15. Books will be provided in the narthex beginning Sunday, April 7, during the racial justice workshop on April 8, as well as at the book club on the 15th. All are welcome!
Join us on Tuesday, April 16, as we discuss Scripture, current events, the Church, and of course. . . beer. Our scripture focus for our discussion this month will be John 20:1-18.
Bring your favorite libation to share with the group. (If you’d like to help our hosts by bringing a snack as well, please do!) Please note that we’ll be meeting one week later than usual this month; and we’ll once again meet at the home of Jenny and Sean Tessmer. Hope to see you!

Gustavus Adolphus welcomes all to a free, monthly community meal the fourth Saturday of each month at 6:00 p.m.
Our doors are open to all seeking community, fellowship, and a nutritious meal to be enjoyed with neighbors and friends in Northeast Minneapolis. Remember, all are welcome at Church for community meals and always. We know that the world is often an unloving place and that the experience of alienation is all too common. Following the example of Christ, we welcome all persons of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, physical and mental abilities, educational levels, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Our next Community meal will be held on Saturday, April 27, at 6:00 p.m. (Cooking and preparation begin at 3:00 p.m. for those who are interested in helping.) All are welcome!
