Spirit Says Do

There is an Arab saying that ties together two potentially divergent ways of moving through the world: “Trust in God and tie your camel to a tree.”  This morning, we’ll explore how we might balance taking action with trusting that the Universe will hold us, and we’ll kick off our pledge drive to support next year’s budget.

  • The Share the Plate for Sunday March 2 and Sunday March 9 is  More for Madison. More for Madison  is a redevelopment project of St. John’s Lutheran Church, to demolish their building and replace it with a place where affordable living, stability, and supportive services converge, fostering growth and success.  With a rooftop garden, accessible community spaces, and vital social services, St. John’s redevelopment for affordable housing is a testament to their commitment to community, diversity, and holistic care for one another. More for Madison was nominated by Reverend Karen.
