Current Opportunities

PCC Habitat for Humanity Week is June 1 – June 5!

 

PCC Habitat for Humanity Build Week | Monday, June 1 – Friday, June 5

We will be doing new construction on a house being built at 2214 Russell Avenue N, Minneapolis. Construction of the home has just begun, so there will be plenty of work to do.

No building or construction experience is required, just a desire to provide a good house for a family. Please contact Jim Christenson or Brittany Schou at bmschou@gmail.com with any questions.

CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!

We need 12 volunteer workers per day. If you are interested, registration is required to participate. Register here using the PCC proprietary link.

We also need lunch volunteers. Please contact Jim Christenson at christensonjim@msn.com.

Two invitations to connect with the farm ministry. The 2026 season is underway – come grow with us!

Two invitations to connect with the farm ministry in the coming weeks. The 2026 season is underway – come grow with us! Live far from the farm? Forward this to a Minnesota friend…

Invitation #1

Come learn the spiritual art of pruning 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Saturday, March 21, at Good Courage Farm

The weather will be unusually warm this weekend! (Ugh, climate change…) Since it’s too early to clean up your own yard (think of the pollinators!) or start your own pot of tomatoes (last frost is end of May, remember!), come enjoy the 70 degrees here at Good Courage!

Every Saturday, our agrarian ministry hosts “faith farmation” gatherings. We invite you to roll up your sleeves, don muck boots, and join a community of kindred spirits in tending soil, trees, and spirit together.

March is pruning season. On the 21st, we’ll be tending to the fruit trees and grapevines. No experience is needed—just a willingness to learn and lend a hand. We weave learning and prayer into our work, singing and laboring side by side for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. We share good conversation, sung prayer, and a noonday meal along the way.

The good food we harvest is shared with neighbors experiencing food insecurity. Come this once or come often through the seasons ahead.. Discover how caring for the land can deepen your faith and root you more firmly in hope.

RSVP for March 21 Farm Stewards!

Invitation #2

Come Bless the Fields Saturday, April 25, as we celebrate Rogation at Good Courage Farm

Each year on April 25, our Anglican tradition marks the feast known as Major Rogation. This is a time set aside by the Church to pray over field, seed, and laborer, asking for God’s blessing on the growing season ahead. Come join us at Good Courage on Saturday, 4/25, from 10:00 a.m. until noon. We’ll make a procession around the farm, singing and praying over orchards, vineyards, animals, and people. Bring seeds from home, and we’ll ask God’s blessing on them and on your own garden. The 45-minute procession is followed by tea and cake in the barnyard, plus opportunities to learn about the farm, its creatures, and its ministry.

Golf carts will join the procession to offer transportation to those with mobility needs. Children are welcome and will be given liturgical roles! RSVPs are encouraged at the link below. Please carpool if you’re coming from a distance to minimize fossil fuel use.

We look forward to welcoming you to the farm! RSVP here to Bless the Fields.

Our Esther Moment By John Humphrey. Join the No Kings 3 Rally on 3/28!

In JT’s sermon on March 15, he reflected on the moment Esther recognized her calling — and invited each of us to consider our own “Esther moments.” Over the past two months, I’ve heard from dozens of you asking the same question: “What can I do?”Here are two things — and when I say you, I mean nearly all of us who are physically and mentally able to.

The most powerful thing we can do right now is show up. Our collective presence speaks volumes. Imagine if tens of thousands across Minnesota — and millions nationwide — stood together. That kind of strength is hard to ignore. Please join the No Kings 3 Rally on Saturday, March 28, at locations across the Twin Cities. Click here for details.

If you are unable to attend an event with 30k-100K people in one place (like St Paul) for No Kings tomorrow, here’s a link to sign up for smaller neighborhood gatherings. CLICK HERE for a link to gatherings that No Kings knows about in St Louis Park, Richfield, Bloomington, Plymouth, Burnsville, Eagan, and several more.

100 Hands

Come to the all-church intergenerational gatherings on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. to serve our neighbors, build community, and deepen fellowship. From making sandwiches to knitting cowls to packaging goods, your hands are needed to help others!
