Every 4th Sunday of the month, we honor our commitment to the diocese’s (and St. John’s) priority of Justice by celebrating a Racial Healing Eucharist. This liturgy includes collects and reflections celebrating saints who worked for Racial Justice in the Episcopal calendar of Saints. Each liturgy begins with an Acknowledgment of Indigenous Peoples’ Land and includes a Litany for Racial Reconciliation.
In May, due to when Pentecost falls, we will be celebrating our Racial Healing Eucharist on the 3rd Sunday.
This Sunday, May 17 at 8am and 10am, we will offer a liturgy celebrating Frances Perkins, with guest preacher Judge Nicole Starr.
Nicole Starr is diakonal minister with the United Church of Christ. She credits the Holy Spirit as the motivating force in her life. She thanks her wife for creating a supportive world where she can follow the spirit through a sometimes hectic, mostly joyful, and always nourishing life. Nicole works as a District Court judge in Ramsey County where she holds tightly to the ideal that “justice is what love looks like in public.” (Dr. Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary).
