Hey there! We're so glad you're checking out the Fabric channel. In the summer, we meet at the Minnehaha Falls Bandshell in Minneapolis at 10:30 on most Sundays. Check our Events Calendar for the latest.
Because the internet connection in the park hasn't been super strong or cooperative, we'll be recording our gatherings and uploading them afterwards from now through Labor Day. Be sure to catch us sometime on Sunday afternoons!
Practice Makes Progress
We live in a culture that tells us: if you can’t do it perfectly, don’t do it at all. So we either burn ourselves out chasing perfection, or give up and disengage. But what if that’s exactly backwards? What if the real work of growing as people, of following Jesus, and of making change in the world happens through imperfect, everyday practice? This July at the Falls, we’ll explore how small, steady practices shape us for love, courage, justice, and joy… even when we feel anything but “perfect.”
July 6 | Practicing Imperfection - We live in a world that either demands perfection or tempts us toward disengagement. But what if the real invitation is to show up, as we are: unfinished, learning, in-progress? This week, we’ll explore the myth of perfection and start imagining what progress would feel like instead.

July 13 | Practicing Bringing it All - What we practice, we become. From everyday acts of kindness to intentional habits of listening, generosity, and reflection, our imperfect efforts shape us and ripple outward into the world. This week, we’ll reflect on how small, steady practices can lead to real transformation. WATCH | PODCAST | SUNDAY PAPER | GROUP GUIDE
July 20 | Fabric at the Minnehaha Falls Art Fair (10-11am) - Creativity brings us together! At the center of the Minnehaha Falls Art Fair, Fabric is weaving an interactive experience where anyone can share a performance! Music, games, prizes, art projects, coffee, and fun for all ages! Find us at the Bandstand! More HERE.
July 27 | Practicing Mess-Blessing - In a divided world, too many of us avoid difficult conversations out of fear of “getting it wrong.” But growth happens in the tension. This week, we’ll explore how to show up for the hard conversations: with curiosity, courage, and compassion. WATCH | PODCAST | SUNDAY PAPER | GROUP GUIDE
August 3 | Practicing Being the Change - Faith isn’t about mastering the right beliefs or achieving moral perfection. It’s about practicing love, justice, and humility in real time— over and over again. As we close this series, we’ll reflect on how imperfect practice can make us the kind of people this world needs.

I love this opportunity to combine an incredible Vampire movie set in 1930s Mississippi Delta, historical and spiritual context and a dinner table of people to process and learn with!
