From Pastor Amy … As our nation continues to wrestle with the white supremacy that is around us and within us, we who are white need to put ourselves under the teaching and leadership of people of color. We have an opportunity to do that again this Sunday in a worship service offered by ChurchAnew, a ministry renewal organization based out of St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Eden Prairie, Minn. ChurchAnew offers this worship service led by many African-American church leaders in the Twin Cities area. Our Anti-Racism Task Force and Worship and Music Committee recommend that Good Shepherd shares in this worship service.
