Dear Church on the Street Family,
What a month of celebration! Sharing in 10 years of worship together on the streets of Sioux Falls.
As All Saints Day approaches, we are reminded of the closeness of joy and pain. While celebrating God's goodness, we are also simultaneously aware of the pain and suffering present in our community. And, so we continue to one another in prayer.
It's great to be church together!
Dancing with joy and walking with peace,
Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara
