Deepening the Valley: Shaping the Future of our Worship

Name: Deepening the Valley: Shaping the Future of our Worship
Start: 2026-07-19
End: 2026-07-19

Join us for the launch of our new Deepening the Valley conversation series, hosted by the Worship & Music team. These casual, open forums are designed to help us envision how we do worship and music together in the future.

First Event: Sunday, July 17, immediately following the worship service
Location: The Sanctuary
Launch Topic: Introducing more inclusive language into our services—exploring how our words, metaphors, and images can help everyone feel genuinely welcomed, honored, and seen.

This is a friendly space for everyone — no special preparation or expertise is needed. The Worship & Music team wants to invite your voice, insights, questions, and stories into our future worship decisions. Come share your perspective and help us envision our community’s future together!

Looking Ahead
This series will continue to explore critical areas of our faith community’s life together. Future topics already on the horizon include:

Worship Service Times: Assessing our Sunday schedule to best serve our community’s changing needs.
Offering Plates: Reflecting on how we practice stewardship and passing the plate in a digital age.
Older Youth in 4theKids: Expanding our 4th Sunday services to involve and engage our older youth.

We Need Your Ideas!
What other worship or music topics should we explore together? We want your voice in this process. Please reach out to Sara Blood at 763-228-6272 (text or voicemail) or saranoelblood@gmail.com with your recommendations, ideas, and feedback.
