Thank you to the families, partners, and @rustinanuttz for a wonderful Pride Heroes Mini-Festival at @houseofhopepresbyterian! Children made capes and paraded around the park, Rustina led an amazing story time, and all had a great time showing off our pride! This event wouldn't have been possible without our interfaith partners, friends, and congregation. We appreciate you kicking off Pride with us!

What a wonderful and enriching weekend with @ecmnyouth at the @episcopal_mn Pre‑YE Middle School Retreat. Grateful for the energy, curiosity, and joy these young people bring. A big thank‑you to @stjohnsstpaul for welcoming us so generously into their beautiful space, and to @dan_nelson42 for inviting us to reflect on what “seeking after Jesus” means in our lives and in our communities. @theepiscopalchurch

A red carpet runs toward the altar, bordered by rows of carved wooden pews. High vaulted ceilings with dark wooden beams rise overhead, with large organ pipes along the side walls. Warm chandeliers illuminate the space, and stained‑glass windows at the far end add soft color to the scene.

Saint Thomas More had the honor of hosting an Advent Ecumenical Vespers with St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church and St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church on December 4th. Choirs from each church sang together for the evening, and the service was modeled after the evening praise of all three liturgical traditions.

We are so thrilled to continue this tradition of peace and reflection. Now more than ever, community is crucial to who we are and who God calls us to be. Thank you to all who were able to attend this beautiful evening! ❤️
