Since last spring, EMC members have been volunteering once a month at Perspectives, a 40-year-old nonprofit in St. Louis Park that takes a holistic approach toward helping mothers and their children. “It’s an easy gig,” says one volunteer. “The kids show you the ropes, and you don’t need any real kitchen skills to participate.” EMC…
EMC’s Game Night—with a twist—is back by popular demand on Saturday, Nov. 4, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. And what could be more fun that indulging in desserts and playing Telestrations? Or Scrabble? Or whatever game is your favorite? Whip up your best dessert for judging—or just come to eat and judge. Either works for us!…
All creatures—great and small, furry and fuzzy (and maybe even feathery)—are welcome at EMC’s Blessing of the Beasts, Sunday, Oct. 1, 2 to 2:45 p.m. Plan to gather on the lawn for our first such event. We’ll meet other pets, laugh, sing, and give thanks for the blessing of animals in God’s world. Photos of…
We gathered on Rally Day for a creation-themed Sunday worship service, the kickoff of Sunday school, a ministry/volunteer fair and ice cream social. Phew! It was a busy day and lots of fun as these photos attest.

While everyone else is scrambling for their wallets during the offering, you can relax and enjoy the special music. You’ll never again have to…

Pastor Oby and his camera-shy dog, Ruthie, greeted participants in this week’s Morningside Theatre Camp and our EMC Preschool summer camp. He said he had lots of talks but forgot to collect nickels. With the beautiful weather we’re having, no doubt you’ll often find the pastor “in.”
