St. Andrew’s Journey TogetherItaly: Religious Art, Culture & CuisineOctober 27-November 7, 2025

From the witnessing of art in Florence, to St. Francis in Assisi, to the martyrs in Rome, this travel experience explores the early church and Christians who lived and died to give witness to their faith. Learn about Christianity in its early centuries. We visit the amazing ruins of Pompeii, marvel at the beauty of the Amalfi Coast, and discover the ancient Roman civilization. Special visits to a winery and farm provide opportunities to enjoy and learn about Italian cuisine. Like ancient Christians before us, we worship , eat, laugh, and experience the joy of Christian community together.This custom-designed travel experience of 12 days and 10 nights takes place when temperatures are cooler and crowds are moderate. Italy’s Mediterranean climate offers an average high temperature in Rome, Florence, and Sorrento of 60 to 70°F during this season. The itinerary is being planned and paced through Carrousel Travel, Minneapolis, with multiple night stays: two nights in Florence, two nights in Assisi in the region of Umbria, three nights in the southern coastal city of Sorrento, and ending with three nights in Rome.

2024-2025 BAPTISM WORKSHOPS
2025-10-27 13:00 - 14:00 UTC | MN
The one-hour interactive workshop via Zoom covers what baptism is, what it means for you and/or your child, tips for raising a family of faith, and what the day of baptism will look like.

The class will cover: What baptism means in the Lutheran tradition, how to prepare for your child’s baptism, what to expect on the day of their baptism, godparents and how to select them, nurturing faith at home beyond your child’s baptism day, and more! You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other St. Andrew’s families, and have any of your remaining questions about baptism answered.

Please gather these items and have them nearby at the Zoom meeting: A “faith object” (for show-and-tell)— something in your home that reminds you of your faith or helps you practice your faith, a small bowl of water (for a blessing), and a Bible (you can Google for our readings if you don’t have a Bible available).

Your children are more than welcome to join us during the meeting, but they are not required to be present. We understand that some of you will need to move on-and-off-screen to tend to the needs of your little ones during our time together. We are so grateful for this opportunity to gather in whatever way is best for your family!

Please note, a Zoom link will be emailed to you 2-3 days before the workshop.
