All Are Welcome!


Gethsemane Episcopal Church in Minneapolis, Mi...

Image via Wikipedia

Gethsemane Episcopal Church began with a handful of people in 1856, seeking to establish a worshiping community in the soon to be burgeoning city of Minneapolis. For over 150 years, The Garden has been sowing seeds of worship, community and justice.

If you have further questions about the Garden, or would like to know more about the Church, its worship, mission and ministry and the community, please email our Vicar, Aron Kramer. The best way to get to know us is to join us for worship on a Sunday. All people, of every race, class, gender, sexual orientation, belief, and those seeking to learn more about their faith journeys, are welcome to experience and join this forming community.

Our services are Sundays at 8AM and 10AM.


"The nature of water is yielding, and that of a stone is hard. Yet if you hang up a bottle filled with water above the stone so that the water drips drop by drop, it will wear a hole in the stone. In the same way the word of God is tender, and our heart is hard. So when people hear the word of God frequently, their hearts are opened to the fear of God.."

- Abba Poeman



WELCOME ANDREW FREDEL!

Our new Director of Worship, Andrew Fredel, joins us on January 8. Please join us on January 15 to celebrate and welcome Andrew to our community and prepare to work with him in our music ministry.

BISHOP'S COMMITTEE & BUDGET FORUMS

On January 15 and January 22 we will host Bishop's Committee and budget forums to prepare for our Annual Meeting. Look for a preliminary budget to be available on January 8.

2011 ANNUAL MEETING

The 155th Gethsemane Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 29, following the 10AM service. Please plan on celebrating the 2011 year and hearing some of the vision for 2012.

  WONDERING WHERE TO PARK?
 We are able to offer free parking on Sundays at the Goodyear lot next to the church on 9th Street and 5th Avenue.  Please place a bulletin on your dashboard.  The meters along 4th and 5th Avenues, and on 9th Street are free on weekends.  We no longer have a contract with the NRG ramp on 4th Avenue.  However - parking is free to the public on most Sundays when there is no event in town. When the Vikings are playing at home starting at Noon - you may also park in the lot next to the Drake Hotel (NOT directly behind the church).  Enter on 10th Street.
