10/29  Is it Time for a New Catechism? For centuries Martin Luther’s Small Catechism shaped how Lutheran Christianity was taught in confirmation and beyond. How do we pass down key aspects of our faith today? Come join Gloria Dei member Deanna Thompson for a conversation about a new catechism project that the Lutheran Center at St. Olaf is working on and add your thoughts to how we’re being called to share the key tenets of our faith today.

11/5 Dream of Wild Health – Executive Director, Neely Snyder, shares the dreams and accomplishments of Gloria Dei’s first recipient of our Reparations Tithe, Dream of Wild Health.  Their mission is to restore health and well-being in the Native community by recovering knowledge of and access to healthy Indigenous foods, medicines and lifeways. Snyder will share the gift of “rematriating” seeds – giving back what was lost to young people seeking ancestral traditions.  Come see how our partnership with this organization offers us a step in our reparative journey.
