RING THEM BELLS! HOLINESS
AND THE FEMININE SPIRIT
JUNE 19 11:00 AM WITH JANET MCKENZIE Janet McKenzie has committed her life and art to celebrating womens lives and gifts. Her art compassionately reflects that we are created equally and beautifully in Gods likeness Ms. McKenzies painting Jesus of the People was selected winner of the National Catholic Reporters Jesus 2000 competition. This painting confronts stereotypical thinking by celebrating Jesus as African American. The feminine aspect is served by the fact that the model for this painting was a woman. Ms. McKenzie will be a guest at Sacred Journey at 9:00 AM and then share works from her new book, Holiness and the Feminine Spirit at 11:00 AM.

Tending the Garden of Your Soul? Body? Spirit?

Do you care for all parts of your body? Do you love yourself? Do you practice selfdenial and is it a healthy practice? Does your body live in hope (see Acts 2:26)? How will you tend yourself when you go home? How is your body connected to other bodies, souls and spirits? Through the Body of Christ? Do we share joy and pain bodily?

JUNE 19 AND 26, 11:00 AM LED BY BILL MATHIS Always wanted to find out what its like to play in the Hennepin Chime? Tried playing bells before and had fun (or didnt but would like to give it another go)? Join Bill for a hands-on experience with handbells. No experience necessary just show up!

LASST UNS ERFRUEN

God of Togetherness, You build among and within us a community that is stronger than any one of us can be alone. You encourage us to reach out and serve one another instead of remaining isolated. You teach us that the messy-ness of community and the risks that we take to receive care from one another are fully worth it. Because it is only in being together that we can ever get a fuller glimpse of who you are, and for that we give you great thanks. Amen. ANTHEM Sanctus James Ahrens, tenor Charles Gounod

We are now in the Season after Pentecost, what we often refer to as Ordinary Time and so we enter into our theme: Tending the Garden of Your Soul, recognizing that most of our tending needs to be during those ordinary times. We live most of our lives in ordinary time, dont we? And yet the miracle of our lives is anything but ordinary. It is in our every day living that we practice loving our neighbors, our selves, and our God. How do you tend to your soul? How is your garden growing? For next week, read Matthew 10:40-42

Stairs Enclosure
Work has begun to cover the outside stairwell in the alley/passageway on the East side of our building. The City of Minneapolis informed us it needs to comply with Regulatory Services and disconnect an outside stairwell drain that leads into the cities sewer lines. (This disconnect program did not offer the church any good options. The stairs enclosure was determined to be best.) Innovative Building Concepts will be constructing an enclosure that is practical and the Board of Trustees insisted on a high quality solution that will offer additional benefits as well as solving the problem of any rainwater getting into Minneapolis sewers. All work should be finished by the end of June 2011. Tom Flood, Buildings and Grounds

BREAKFAST AT HENNEPIN
Our normal Sunday morning brunch is on hiatus for the summer. We will hold some special food events periodically through the summer season, beginning today with the Parsonage Open House.
