Upcoming March 2026
Lenten Dinner Church – Wednesday Evenings, March 4, 11, 18, 25
During Lent, we gather as community to worship together around tables. We share a meal, pray, and hear a word that carries us through the rest of the week. This is not a potluck; just come to be fed. 5:30-6:30p. No sign-up needed.

Big Bible Dig
Big Bible Dig is designed for kids grades 3-7 who want to dig into the Bible a bit more. We meet after cookies/choir practice in Bonhoeffer Room (approx. 10:45a). During our time together, we learn about the different books and stories of the Bible. We will discuss what they show us about God and we’ll also discuss what makes no sense at all! Make sure to bring your Bible! Benjamin and Andrew Packman lead this Dig.
High School Youth Group
The group meets every other week after worship, gathering for snacks and conversation. They get to support each other; discuss faith and the difference it makes in our lives. March meetings: March 8th and 22nd after service.
Confirmation
Our faith development program for middle school students (grades 6-8). Meets once a month on Sundays. Contact pastors for more info.
Grace Neighbors/Brave-ly
We are partnered with BRAVE-LY, a mutual aid hub serving Burnsville, Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan, and Lakeville to support their food distribution. There are many ways of getting involved, from donating supplies to packing and delivering bags to a central location, to coloring notes of care and encouragement. Reach out to Pr. Reed if you’d like to get involved – the most consistent opportunities will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.
DARTS
DARTS Breathing Space is a group respite program that offers caregivers a needed break by providing supervision, socializing, and activities for the care receiver. The program is designed for individuals with early- to mid-stage memory loss or other conditions that require some supervision. The program meets at Grace on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. If you are interested in volunteering at Breathing Space, please contact Annie David, Volunteer Programs Manager at DARTS, 651-234-2227 or annie.david@darts1.org.

Public Faith
This team continues to deepen our congregation’s shared commitments to anti-racism, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, climate justice, and generosity, as we seek to live out Christ’s love in the world, through education and action. In recent months, this is the team that has been primarily plugged into ISAIAH organizing work and responding to the needs of our neighbors.

Nurturing faith formation programs, events, and care for families with kids in the first third of their lives.
