Mount Olivet Youth are again hosting our annual May Flower Sale Fundraiser. However, this year's sale is a little different. Traditionally, the profits from the sale have gone solely to support the Youth Summer Trip. This year, however, profits from the plant sale will support Mount Olivet's solar panel project and a matching grant will support the Summer Youth Trip. So your purchase of beautiful plants for your garden will support BOTH MO Youth and the Solar Panel Project. Mount Olivet Youth thank you in advance for your support of their trip as well as the important effort toward solar energy! Place a plant order HERE by April 27.

Everything in Between Collage Making Workshop

Everything in Between Collage Making Workshop

  • Mount Olivet Lutheran Church of Plymouth (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join in community for a thoughtful, inclusive workshop making collage as an embodied practice of faith and examination. How might we recontextualize familiar imagery to reimagine a troubled world? What might we discover when we allow ourselves to play in the space of the unknown? Exploring trust in our instincts, emotions, and each other, we will gather to practice making as an act of prayer, alchemy, and community.

This event is funded in part by a contemplative prayer grant from St. Catherine’s University.

Wednesday, April 2 6:00-8:00pm

Location:  Mount Olivet Lutheran Church of Plymouth, Fireside Room

Who: It's a multi-generational event - Grade 7 - 100 years old

$10 per person

Meet Workshop Leader Jess Kiel-Wornson

Jess Kiel-Wornson is an interdisciplinary artist based in North Minneapolis. Using sculptural installation, collaged cultural artifact, painting, drawing, and performance, she addresses the insidiousness of the systems of power in our surroundings. Her work speaks to the material consequence of trauma in our bodies and buildings and asks us to reframe our conversations about goodness, success, and identity away from individuals and toward the systems that allow and promote violence toward some bodies distinctly from others. She received her MFA from University of Illinois Champaign Urbana. Recent collaborations include Echoes: We are Imperfect Mortal Beings (Mirror Lab, April Sellers Dance 2025), It's Physical (Southern Theater, Jagged Moves Dance, 2024), and Mariology (Mixed Blood Theater, Nancy Keystone and Critical Mass Performance Group, 2023). She is currently most accountable to her roles as artist, bonus mom, auntie, and neighbor. More musings at jkwornson.com

Please contact Beth Mc-K @ emcgrewking@moply.org with questions.

Curious about practical ways to nurture your kids' faith? Whether you're parenting littles or teens, come and find community with other parents along with simple practices that connect to the life your family actually has. This is not a conversation about fitting more stuff into our busy lives, so much as it is a conversation about doing less with purpose.

Join Beth McGrew-King for a book discussion of Woven: Nurturing a Faith Your Kid Doesn't Have to Heal From by Meredith Miller. Read or listen to the book ahead of time. Then pick up a community meal (or bring your dinner) and meet in the Conference Room from 6-7:30pm on Monday, November 18. RSVP below. Friends are welcome!

Want to join the discussion, but don’t have the time to read ahead? Come anyway! Beth will offer a quick recap at the start of the discussion, and you are welcome whether you read or listened to the whole book ahead of time or not.

Can't make this date, but want to participate in something like this in the future -- let us know in the sign up. Have questions? Contact Beth Mc-K at emcgrewking@moply.org.
