We are once again partnering with folks from UCC New Brighton to pack food for international hunger relief. There are 30 slots reserved for our two congregations.

Friday, May 2, 7:15-8:45 PM at the Coon Rapids FMSC site.

It’s gratifying and fun to work together. And the food that we pack
saves people’s lives.

For more information, contact the church office at 651 646-7173.

Think yard sale without any money changing hands!

The five churches in the St. Anthony Park Faith Communities and the St. Anthony Park Community Foundation are partnering for this win-win-win event.

Donate items. Get items. Stay for a community meal. It’s all free.

- Toys, games
- Sports equipment
- Clothing

Saturday, May 10
10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Let’s close out the program year with a fabulous picnic on the front yard!
 
All ages are invited to stay after worship on Sunday, May 18.

If you are navigating the complex realities of an aging parent (or parent-in-law or step-parent), you are not alone.

Gather with other SAPUCCers to give and receive support, have honest conversations, and share resources.

The support group, facilitated by Pastor Victoria, will next meet on Saturday morning, April 26, 10:00-11:30 AM in the Parlor.

Victoria Downey leads "Little Kid Yoga" here in the Fellowship Hall every other Monday, 10:00-10:45 AM, September thru April. There will be stories, songs, movement, poses and togetherness!

Little Kid Yoga is open to the community, free of charge.

Our Godly Play classroom is for children in preschool thru 2nd grade.

The "Doorperson" greets each child and helps them get ready to enter the classroom.

The "Storyteller" tells the Bible story using the Godly Play curriculum, props, and the desert box, and then asks the children wondering questions. The class concludes with worktime and the feast.

Godly Play is a wonderful approach to faith formation thru storytelling.

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM, in the Godly Play classroom on the lower level.
