Atonement Lutheran - Fargo

Say hello to our Atonement Fargo team! They arrived to Minneapolis safely! They are cheerful and prepared to serve this week. We are excited and anticipating an amazing week that glorifies God! 

Our team showed up to Breakthrough this morning, ready to serve! We had a group downstairs building shelves, a group sweeping & mopping the main area, and a group outside cleaning up around the property. 

“This morning we worked at Breakthrough Ministries to serve lunch to the homeless in the area. While serving food I was amazed at the joy some of the men and women had and shared with us despite the circumstances they were in. My favorite part of the day however was walking around the streets and talking with people we saw. I was touched by the stories they told and it was a really enlightening experience.”

The team had an opportunity to visit George Floyd square this afternoon. We got to learn about the nearby community and how current events have affected them. We also got to meet George Floyd’s aunt and uncle who got to share a little bit of their heart with the team! 

The team spent this morning packing up Manna Packs to help those in need around the world. The process was dumping vitamins, veggies, soy, and rice in a pack and then sealing it closed. The team also prayed for each box that is going to be sent out! 

The team spent the afternoon prepping the church for Food in the Hood! They set out products and loaded groceries bags with produce— excited to hand out food tonight!

“After packing meals at FMSC, we worked with Good in the Hood to prepare groceries for people in the community that are in need. I really enjoyed greeting the people and giving them the opportunity to shop for themselves. Earlier in the day we also walked around Minneapolis handing out blankets and blessing bags to the homeless. It was really interesting hearing their stories and getting the opportunity to give back to the community.”

The team visited Midtown Global Market — we walked around and got to pray over different workers and bless their businesses. 

The team was able to explore Minneapolis on the light rail. They also spent time praying for the city!

The team made a stop at Nelson’s Ice Cream, a Minneapolis favorite! The ice cream was so delicious and huge portions which is always a plus!
