“Whose Home Land?” Two conversations after worship
You are encouraged to attend two adult forums at our church right after the Sunday service on November 6th and 13th. “Whose Home Land?” raises questions and offers information about the founding of our church in 1855 and Northfield in 1856, seven years before the Dakota were exiled from most of southern Minnesota, their Mni Sota Makoçe.
