RESCHEDULED Minneapolis-St. Paul MMC Gathering
Just a quick update: We're rescheduling this month's gathering for next Tuesday, Dec 16 to avoid asking folks to drive during a snow fall in the dark. Otherwise it's the same time and same place! Join us for a time away from your to-do lists and tasks. Tea and snacks will be provided.

If you are looking for a new way to foster vulnerability, trust and connection in your worship, meetings or gatherings… if you enjoy oral singing tradition… or if you need a place to rest your soul and be filled…
In December the gathering will have a focus on songs for solstice with Executive Director Conie Borchardt and local song leader Brenna Everson. St. Anne's will have a Longest Night service on Friday evening, December 19th.
This gathering is for anyone who loves to sing, churchy and non-churchy alike. Questions? Contact [email protected].

Come practice sharing, teaching, learning, and singing "paperless" songs in the context of a supportive community of fellow singers and song-lovers! Whether you'd like to experience how we can share songs in the oral/aural tradition, build your confidence as a song-leader, or just enjoy the "good medicine" of singing with others in community, we'd love for you to join us. All ages and abilities welcome!
