I have never received a hug like that because I am the person that gives those hugs. I felt welcomed. I felt so welcomed and she was the primary reason I proceeded to the sanctuary. I wanted to attend a church that had the Old School Southern feel to it. Originality. Love and Holy Spirit presence. I wanted to feel " HOME " my Southern Roots. Long story short, I have a strained relationship with church and within 6 months of just sitting in the pews, I joined. This alone should speak volumes but I will continue. Now there is always room for growth. We are people meant to take and give constructive criticism. If it said that new members should be embraced in a specific manner then follow thru. I did my part in communication. I wrote an email that I was not obligated to write to inform the church of my abrupt disappearance and I had no follow up. It almost discouraged me because it took so long for me to return to church, then I joined the church and did not hear word back regarding my email. I was asking about how I could still be a participant from another state. I did not want to be just a virtual viewer and attendee. I wanted to pour back into what was pouring into me, even if I was in another state. That was frustrating but that is people within the church and NOT God. Emails from specific people within the church is phenomenal though so I will NEVER take away from that. The experience mentioned about the failure to respond to an email has been the epitome of growth however. I have grown closer to God because of all that was experienced at this church. There are some amazing people who pour into you. There are some people that do not pour into you the way that is expected. The music! I cannot stop talking about the music, the guest, the creativity, the praise dancer, the meat. The meat-the word! The word! I have been exposed to so many people in the Bible and their stories that I never knew existed. I NEVER heard a Pastor preach about sexual abuse until I attended here. I have never been interested in the semantics of politics until I attended here. Overall between Bible Study, Sunday School, and the beautiful community events. This church is so beautiful and expansion is in their future.

I decided to visit First Lutheran because it's hosts Urban Roots, a program to teach kids about growing food and living healthy. I noticed the church during a Urban Roots pickup and vowed to visit on Sunday. Glad I did. It offers a huge, well maintained sanctuary and a friendly parish. There were more than 50 attending, many of whom were 60+ in age. I found the contrast interesting between the traditional environment, parish and pipe organ along with contemporary versions of the bible and ecumenical creeds. When you attend for the first time, don't be scared by the volume of people who will approach you for a greeting and handshake during 'passing of the peace.' Lutherans aren't always good at evangelism --- but we can sure recognize and welcome a new face when they visit our home church.

Our pastor's sermons are warm and on point every week, we celebrate communion every Sunday. Christmas Eve and Easter services are totally awe-filling, with strings, woodwinds, brass and timpani adding excitement to our outstanding music! Come see what we're offering on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. You will be welcomed warmly!

Fabric is "contemporary", but it isn't meant to mirror a mega-church experience, it's about engaging in multi-week conversations with connections in the community. I'm sometimes surprised the attendance at Field School on Sunday morning doesn't approach a thousand, because it's exactly the right type of spiritual community for this century. Joining a Fabric group is encouraged but isn't mandated. Groups meet every week or whenever you can make it. Most people choose to become part of one, because it's a way to continue to engage on deeper issues together over a cup of tea or glass of beer. Groups can help us engage with each other's lives at a deeper level but also allow focus to reflect together on the current Fabric conversation. Some have critiqued Fabric, labeling it as surface level, due to a departure from traditional church doctrine and related sermons. I'd argue on the contrary, that it's far from shallow, and rather the opposite. If it is important to you to have someone tell you what you believe about God or Jesus or Creation or Heaven, down to your last thought, then Fabric isn't for you. But, most of us aren't like that. Life isn't like that. Life is about pursuing hopes and dreams, refining our values, developing family and friend relationships, and asking curious questions, which certainly involves asking questions about God and what they means for us. As such, Fabric is simply about living that life in community. Fabric isn't a Church, but Fabric IS church -- For the Rest of Us. Fabric's invitation could well be: Come for the music, stay for the conversation. All are welcome here, EVEN those who identify as Christians, and many of us do. Your faith is important to us. But that goes for everyone who gathers with us. Every person who shows up is important to us, and we are excited to meet you. We want to hear what you are excited about, and we want you in the conversation too!

Fabric Minneapolis is a church community that's made up of people with a wide range of beliefs and…read moreexperiences with church. Some folks have very traditional church backgrounds, some have been deeply harmed by the church, some are neutral about church. We have couples where one has had very positive church experiences and the other is an atheist. What we have in common is a commitment to wrestling together with the big questions of God and the messiness of life. I've been part of the Fabric community for 13 years. Before moving to Minneapolis, I attended a church in Cleveland, OH whose pastor I loved and who walked through important life events with me (e.g. he officiated our wedding, baptised our son). However, with Fabric I've really grown in my understanding of and beliefs about God, Jesus, and the Bible, AND also about being human, parenting, relationships, community. Largely this is because of the conversations that happen not only on Sundays but also with smaller groups during the week. I am connected with so many caring, authentic, curious, good people because of Fabric.
