This study-discussion series resource was developed in 2015 by Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota (LSS) to help Lutherans in the state welcome Muslim neighbors. Lutheran Immigration and Refugees Services (LIRS) now provides this resource to congregations and discussion groups throughout the country.  The resource can be downloaded or a free print copy ordered from LIRS: lirs.org/myneighborismuslim

Bring Friends to Church to worship on Sunday, May 1. We’ll have a special welcoming in the service, joyful noises from the bells and the brass band, sing the “Behold, I Make All Things New” liturgy, and have an egg-bake brunch following the service in the Fellowship Hall. There will be May baskets for all visitors and maybe some other surprises.
