Gather throughout the year to discuss concepts as varied as St. Paul, aging, and the American Lawn! Weekly we pray with intention for concerns within our community, our country, and the world. Monthly we put our muscles to good use moving 10,000+ pounds of produce into cars and onto kitchen tables.
