How my side hustles got me to the West Coast and into community service. 

The two Valley Grove lutheran churches southeast of Northfield started in the late 1800's.  They have survived despite challenges to their ongoing existence, now preserved by the Valley Grove Preservation Society.  You will learn about its history and survival. 

We live in a moment of heightened anxiety fueled by a host of factors.  Political division, harsh rhetoric, a lack of trust in institutions, international conflict and the recent activities of ICE in our state have left many of us overwhelmed.  Dan Dimick will reflect on steps we can take individually and collectively to build personal and community resilience and healing.
