Children, youth and adults are invited to an SAPUCC camping weekend! Time to explore, hike, fish, play, share meals, rest, read, sit around the campfire, tell stories, and be together in God’s creation.

Friday-Sunday, August 15-17
at William O’Brien State Park — a roughly 45 minute drive from the Twin Cities. We have reserved five camper cabins; tent camping is also an option.

Are you interested in a summer book group with other SAPUCCers? 

Marilyn Benson will facilitate conversation about the book Life After Doom:  Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart by Brian McLaren. 

It is a challenging read, so the approach will be slow and deep.

Mondays, June 2 & 16, July 7 & 21
Morning session is 10:30 AM - Noon
Evening session is 6:30 -8:00 PM

Sign up on-line or contact the church office for more information.

If you are navigating the complex realities of an aging parent (or parent-in-law or step-parent), you are not alone.

Gather with other SAPUCCers to give and receive support, have honest conversations, and share resources.

The support group, facilitated by Pastor Victoria, will next meet on Saturday morning, June 21, 10:00-11:30 AM in the Parlor.

Victoria Downey leads "Little Kid Yoga" here in the Fellowship Hall every other Monday, 10:00-10:45 AM, September thru April. There will be stories, songs, movement, poses and togetherness!

For children ages 3 to 6 and their grown-ups. BYO yoga mat or borrow one of ours.

Little Kid Yoga is open to the community, free of charge.

Our Godly Play classroom is for children in preschool thru 2nd grade.

The "Doorperson" greets each child and helps them get ready to enter the classroom.

The "Storyteller" tells the Bible story using the Godly Play curriculum, props, and the desert box, and then asks the children wondering questions. The class concludes with worktime and the feast.

Godly Play is a wonderful approach to faith formation thru storytelling.

Sundays, 9:15-10:15 AM, in the Godly Play classroom on the lower level.
