This multigenerational service of song, story, and strength as we remember that no matter what is going on around us or within us, when we are in it together – what we need is here. Backpacks will be blessed for those who carry them, and all of us will come away with the joy of community and a grounding in our deepest commitments.

Worship leaders: Rev. Jen Crow, Lauren Wyeth, Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout, Rev. Karen Hutt

Link to Give to the Offering

Join us this Sunday, September 12 for two identical services- one at 9 a.m. and one at 11 a.m.–  at Lyndale Gardens Amphitheater (Behind Lakewinds Co-Op at 6400 Lyndale Ave South). We encourage you to arrive by 8:45 or 10:45 a.m.

Offering Recipient: Hurricane Ida Relief; split between various organizations recommended by BLUU (Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism)

What to bring: We encourage you to bring water and sunglasses, a hat and/or sunscreen as needed for your comfort, a backpack if you are wearing one this fall, and to wear a mask. The amphitheatre benches are concrete; please bring a cushion or folding chair if you have difficulty sitting on a hard surface.

Directions & Access: Lyndale Gardens Amphitheatre is located off Lyndale Avenue just south of Highway 62, adjacent to Lakewinds Co-op. Please note that the pin on Google Maps is slightly off, and Apple Maps does not include the turn into the parking lot. You can use this pin to navigate to the amphitheatre instead. The amphitheatre is just to the north and west of Lakewinds Co-op. We encourage walking, biking, or riding transit if you are able; the amphitheatre is accessible via MetroTransit Route 4.

Parking: There is street parking available, as well as a gravel parking lot that can be accessed from Lyndale Avenue by turning West onto 64th Street, just north of the co-op. Please do not park in the co-op parking lot. If you are able, please find street parking in the nearby neighborhood in order to leave the closest parking spaces for those who most need them.

Accessibility: The amphitheatre is wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp down to the front row of benches and room for wheelchairs. The most direct route to the accessible path from the parking area requires navigating a short distance over gravel. For directions to a fully accessible drop off location, ask the ushers at the parking lot entrance for assistance.
