Over the past year, St. Paul’s/San Pablo has recommitted to serving its neighbors as a multicultural, multilingual, and inclusive congregation as we celebrated 135 years in the Midtown Phillips Neighborhood. In past generations, our community welcomed the gifts and challenges of worshiping together as first-generation immigrants and naturalized citizens. Where once the sanctuary resounded with Swedish and English, now we sing in English and Spanish. In this season of opportunity, we've leaned into what it means to be a community that explicitly celebrates and affirms our LGBTQIA+ community. Answering the call to a multicultural, multilingual, and inclusive mission is not a new commitment; it is a recommitment.
Our neighborhood context continues to change as Minneapolis welcomes new immigrants and struggles to serve unhoused people, requiring us to consider how we extend hospitality to our neighbors and encampments of people with chemical dependency. The church building continues hosting a free neighborhood clinic, Vida y Esperanza, an AA Spanish-speaking group, the Semilla Center for Healing and the Arts, and most recently, Calvary Lutheran Church. Each week we have over 400 people come through the space through the various opportunities offered in our building.
Share with us in celebrating 135 years of faithful mission! Your gift helps us continue to dream and create opportunities for all to feel welcome, affirmed, and included.
