A place for you to enjoy being creative in the company of others.

Bring your own projects or use our materials to try something new. Can’t wait to see you and be creative together.

It stands for: Faith Seeking Understanding 2.0

This is a fresh take on a much loved book-club and Pub Theology. Those who remember the original FSU (named for St. Anselm's 11th-century expression Fides quaerens intellectum), you'll notice an adaptation: Instead of larger books read as homework to discuss once a month, there will be no homework. Instead, we will present a bit of an article, podcast, or film to digest in real time, and then explore together.

We’ll gather in the “Olive Pit” at Mount Olive - follow the signs or a friendly face!

It’s an intensive (but you know, fun) Bible immersion through art. And this time - we get to be in person!! Meet up in the “Youth Room” at Mount Olive (We’ll have signs or people to direct you from the front door!)

Text on the printed page + your unique artsy instincts = an experience that rouses the words Off The Page and into our lives.

Nope, you don’t have to be an artist. In fact, no past experience with either the Bible or art is required.

Exploring the Craft of Storytelling

Join us on Saturday, January 27, 2024 at Mount Olive Lutheran Church for an exciting event dedicated to the art of storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or simply curious about the craft, this in-person gathering is the perfect opportunity to open your imagination and build your confidence.

Our intrepid leader for the day is Pro Storyteller and Moth GrandSLAM champion Rev. Andrea Roske-Metcalfe. As a pastor of Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, she brings insight, imagination, and a heart of care. As the founder of the Pray-Ground movement, Andrea brings passion for the energy of children in worship. And as a storyteller, she brings imagination and love to communication.

This event is open to the public, and will be geared toward rostered and lay leaders in church settings.

A simple lunch is included amid a full day of content and fun.

Whether you're an aspiring writer, public speaker, or simply someone who appreciates the power of a well-told tale, this event is for you. Mark your calendar and join us for Exploring the Craft of Storytelling!

You may also register in-person at Mount Olive to pay by cash or check. $50 early bird tickets are available through January 13th. Full ticket price is $75.
