Joint Neighborhood Safety Forum Held at LOTI
The Kenwood Neighborhood Organization, CIDNA, East Isles and Lowry Hill associations hosted a public safety meeting at LOTI on January 23rd. Roughly 160 people were in attendance and over 70 viewing the livestream from these and other Minneapolis neighborhoods. Speakers included Park Police Lt. Calvin Nobles, Chief Brian O’Hara, Fifth Precinct Inspector Christie Nelson, Fifth Precinct CPS Faith Randal, as well as 911 Dispatch Center staff. Additionally, Sgt. Garrett Parten, Minneapolis Public Information Officer, gave an update on MPD’s approach to handling juvenile offenders. Aileen Johnson spoke on her latest efforts concerning public safety and community outreach. Todd Barnette, our Community Safety Commissioner, informed us of the city’s latest public safety initiatives, including discussion of the Behavioral Response Unit. Watch here
Second Annual LOTI Wine & Song!
Marcus Hanson presented five delicious German wines along with food and song pairings to a group of 39 LOTI members and friends at the home of the Reisbergs on January 26th. The evening’s musical pieces ended with a Tuba solo by Marcus! Truly a man of many talents, he sang The Lord’s Prayer in our worship service earlier in the day. Michelle McCreery and Kim Olson prepared foods, with help and advice from Renate Amann and Susanne Haas. Pastor Arden was called into service to brown the special Nuremberg brats from Kramarczuk’s. Fresh pretzel bites from Aki’s BreadHaus were enjoyed with braunschwieger and pickle, in addition to other German fare.

Women’s Retreat at Luther Park
When was the last time a story moved you – made you laugh, cry or reflect? Stories shape our lives, but the greatest story of all is God’s salvation for creation. Together we’ll explore how God’s Word comes alive in scripture and in our own lives. Join us for a weekend of reflection, connection and inspiration!
