| Learn to love the Sparkle Creed at Edina Community Lutheran Church, ELCA. Wait! There's more! |
With both celebration and humility ECLC recognizes the 75th anniversary of the founding of our congregation.
In these years as a congregation, we have experienced joy and sorrow, we have supported one another through life's transitions, and we have engaged in acts of social justice that have shaped our congregation and served the needs of the community. [GJ - It's all about us, our emotions, our experiences, and rich white social justice.]
We continue to learn how the gospel calls us to follow a radical Jesus and to a faith that both comforts and challenges. [GJ - Inspired by too little Scripture, too much weed.]
We have begun to learn about the land on which we have built our church building, and as part of our 75th anniversary, we desire to honor this land and its original inhabitants, encourage conversation within the community, and deepen understanding across time and space. [GJ - The land is humbly proud of these honors, in awe of potential conversations, and we unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. We're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.]
