We’re excited to invite you to explore the Parsonage before it’s sold! This is your chance to browse and acquire various furniture items, including desks, chairs, a conference table, shelves, and more. All items are available for a donation to support The Open Door (TOD).

This furniture was originally purchased or gifted to The Open Door, and we want to give back to them through your generous donations. Feel free to attend one or both open houses, make a donation (cash or check) for any furniture you'd like, and be sure to bring a friend to help load and a vehicle to transport your items.

Join us in considering an important decision for our congregation: the potential sale of property to Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV).

MACV is dedicated to aiding Veterans facing unique housing challenges, striving to offer long-term solutions and ultimately end Veteran homelessness in Minnesota. Together with MACV, we are exploring the possibility of selling a property—specifically the land hosting the parsonage and white farmhouse—to support the creation of permanent housing for local veterans in need.

Learn more about this initiative as MACV presents their plan (which will not be livestreamed) during our 9:30am worship service on Sunday, May 5. This will be an opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and gain deeper insights into the project.
