Saturday, November 13 | 9:00-11:15 a.m.
Christus Victor Lutheran Church, Apple Valley & Online
“Inatosha. It is enough” can mean abundance, satisfaction or, paradoxically, too much to bear, depending upon the circumstance. [Read Rev. Peter Harrits’ reflection on Inatosha from our most recent Companion Synod Update.] This year, we’ll be exploring “enoughness” at the Bega Kwa Bega Fall Festival. Gathered together, we’ll hear reflections from Tanzanians and Americans, join our voices in prayer, and celebrate this companionship that means so much to so many. Plan to join us in person or online!
