About First Lutheran: We were pleased to host the EcoFaith Summit for the third year in a row. We have a group of community people pairing up with congregational members to make our community garden truly that – a communal space. We are waiting for the 300 pollinator plants planted in the fall to start rising from the earth. We look forward to celebrating Lake Superior Sunday the third week of July and we hope this year we and our neighbors to the north are free of wildfires burning and sending us all sheltering inside. My husband and I look forward to our annual Boundary Waters trip this summer, even as we will be grieving the possibility of its sacredness being dishonored by mining. There is work to be done; we walk the way together.
