Come Learn More About What LSS Is Up To!
The Reverend Kathryn Tiede, Associate Vice President of Philanthropy at Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS), will bring us a word of inspiration, hope, and challenge on Sunday, November 26, as we celebrate and learn the ways of Christ the “Kin.” Join Rev. Tiede after worship in the Fellowship Hall for an adult forum to learn a brief overview of their statewide work, and a couple of specific services.
Worshiping Together Wherever You Are
Normandale Lutheran Church is delighted to offer you both in-person worship services as well as via livestream. Simply choose the way that works best for you and your family. All are welcome here, always.
