The All Saints Food Pantry served a record 1,527 families (5,578 individuals) last month. This is over 200 families more than our previous high and marks a 438% increase since last September.

Supply is short, demand is high—and inflation, the pandemic, and the Ukraine conflict are all taking their toll on American food banks in a perfect storm of issues: https://t.co/fP4laP2X82

@LMWoolsey It's so good.

Loving these words from @BenMyersPoet in @ChristianCent from his poem, "Praying for dogs."

...God, I pray for Stinky Pete./Oh, you who made the cosmos run...

I wrote a piece for Ash Wednesday for @ChristianCent in which I'm grateful for the bartenders and hotel desk clerks in Rochester, MN, who were so kind while I walked the shadow of death with my mom a handful of years ago. https://t.co/zV2soPxHf4

Yesterday I experienced what I learned is called a Delayed Hypersensitivity Reaction, and I just keep thinking that's what we're all going to go through these next, I don't know, 6 months as we merge back into a more public life. Be gentle with yourselves and those around you.

[Jenn Moland-Kovash @PastorJennMK]

I love that these signs are hanging outside the school for the community to see; drove past them the other day and immediately smiled! Thankful and grateful for @RMHSMUSTANGS!

[STAMPEDE @RMHSstampede]

A message of positivity...Happy Thanksgiving Mustangs!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Lutheran Church in America's vote in favor of the ordination of women! Can you see your pastor's name (or your name) in this mural?
Make sure you thank them today!

Thank them on Twitter using the hashtag #Thankyoupastor!

@janeoppermann @ELCA Thank you!

[Jenn Moland-Kovash @PastorJennMK]

So much grief in these days. Important to acknowledge and recognize it as such.

[The Nap Ministry @TheNapMinistry]

"Grief comes when people miss one another. Grief is an emotional recognition that something is missing. We can miss what has been – a person, a thing, a relationship, or a commitment, that no longer exists. We can also miss what has never been.” 
-Denise Dombkowski Hopkins

My Sunday morning getting ready routine now includes home lighting and sound checks, as well as fishing my slippers out of the dog bed. These are weird days. Stay safe. Stay home. #palmsunday
