Join us in person at the Minnehaha Regional Park Bandstand, located at 4801 S Minnehaha Drive in Minneapolis. The bandstand is very near the parking lot for Sea Salt Eatery and the Falls. There may be traffic and more limited parking, particularly for the 11 a.m. service. We encourage you to arrive by 8:45 or 10:45 a.m.

Watch the recording: This service will not be livestreamed due to lack of adequate technology onsite, but it will be recorded and made available on our YouTube channel on Sunday evening.

Directions & access info: Minnehaha Park is located in the southeastern part of Minneapolis, just off of Highway 55 and 46th Street. The park is accessible via Metro Transit bus routes 23, 46, 74, and the A line, and the light rail’s Blue line. The bandstand at the park is located just to the east of Sea Salt, and south of the parking lots.

Parking: There are two paid parking lots on the northern side of the park, off of Godfrey Parkway. There is free street parking on city streets to the north of the park. Bike parking is available on the southeastern side of Sea Salt.

Gathering in person at Minnehaha Falls, we’ll immerse ourselves in the imagery of water and the power of the river as we remember the strength of the stones in the banks we build, and the well-worn groove of the river bed that waits for us, whatever the season. We’ll remember the ritual of Water Communion and the symbolic ingathering it represents and we will intentionally hold back the waters for now, waiting with each other, for the fullness of our hoped-for return to our building in November and the joy it will bring. Dr. Glen Thomas Rideout, Aimee K. Bryant, Franco Holder, Lauren Wyeth, and Revs. Arif Mamdani and Jen Crow will lead the service.
