Announcements
Mission of the Month for September: Wildfire Every Meal
More than 300,000 children in Minnesota live with food insecurity. We’re on a mission to change that. Every Meal fights child hunger by focusing on filling the food gaps children face, especially on the weekends, when they’re not able to eat school meals. When they don’t have consistent access to enough food, the risk of hunger is very real. Through our multiple food gap programs, we provide children and families experiencing food insecurity with access to good food.
To support this ministry, please make a donation to our Mission of the Month. If writing a check, make the check out to FLW and write Wildfire Every Meal in the memo line. If donating online, choose the Mission of the Month option.
The Gathering Place
Food, fun, fellowship, and a bonfire on the church lawn on September 17 at 6:00pm. Bring an appetite and a lawn chair (if possible). In case of inclement weather, we’ll move inside. Come and bring family, friends and neighbors!
Wildfire Music Event & Jazz Festival
Cross of Glory Lutheran Church is hosting an event on Thursday, September 25th at 7:00pm. The evening begins with choral pieces sung by a pop-up choir comprised of Wildfire singers. Then you will be invited to join in on a brief hymn sing and the evening concludes with a concert by Take Note, a local jass ensemble. This event is free and open to the public. Invite your friends and neighbors!

Wildfire Talks: Ghost of a Chance
Thursday, Oct. 23 • 7 p.m.
House of Hope Fellowship Hall, 4800 Boone Ave, New Hope
Join Star Tribune reporter Eric Roper and producer Melissa Townsend for a conversation about Ghost of a Chance—the story of how researching a 113-year-old Minneapolis home led to uncovering the lives of Harry and Clementine Robinson and a revelatory chapter of the city’s racial history.
Why it matters here: this Minneapolis story has metro-wide resonance—how our region’s past is woven into the houses, streets, and systems that shaped today’s suburbs, and how those histories inform ongoing conversations about belonging and equity in our community.
The evening includes an open Q&A. Want to listen ahead? Use the QR code on the flyer or visit https://www.startribune.com/ghost-of-a-chance/601197355 to find episodes, discussion guides, and archival materials.
