| The Nokomis Heights worship team has been given the weekend off, and today’s worship is provided by the leadership and staff of the Minneapolis Area Synod. This special worship service is offered on the anniversary weekend of the killing of George Floyd. It pulls together a diverse group of leaders to commemorate that event, which has had such an impact on the Twin Cities, the nation, and even the world. The worship was recorded at Calvary Lutheran Church, located just one block from where Mr. Floyd was killed. Calvary has provided hospitality to those visiting George Floyd Square throughout the last year. The Rev. Stacey L.

She holds a B.A. degree in Organizational Leadership and Development from Bethel University, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and earned a Master of Divinity degree from United Theological Seminary, in New Brighton, Minnesota.

Besides servicing as Presiding Elder, she is pastor of St. James AME Church in St. Paul. Prior to that, she was pastor at St. Mark AME Church in Duluth. Rev.
