Great Commission

In the life of the Church, colors serve as visual theology, proclaiming the truths of the gospel to our eyes as well as our ears. We celebrate Resurrection Sunday with gold and white draped over the cross. Gold proclaims Christ’s royal victory—our risen King who has conquered sin and death—while white declares the purity and joy of His resurrection, as He stands spotless and triumphant, clothing His people in righteousness. 
North Center Dads, we need your picture! Emma is planning a video for Father's Day and needs all the dads (with their children, if they are with you) to stop by the Fellowship Hall after the Gathering on May 24 or 31 and get a picture taken. You can also text a picture to Emma at (763) 458-4407.
**CLASS OF 2026! Are you graduating this spring from high school or college, or do you have a son or daughter graduating? We'd like to honor you during the May 31st Gathering. Please fill out the form below so we can add you to the prayer ceremony.**
