Share the Plate
“Share the Plate” will be split with half going to support our Fellowship’s ministries, and the other half going to support a worthy organization.
April 2026 Share the Plate:
Menīkānaehkem Community Rebuilders

Menīkānaehkem is a grassroots community organization based on the Menominee Reservation, in Northeast Wisconsin working to revitalize our communities. For Menīkānaehkem, effective organizing aligns with their efforts to heal from historical and ongoing colonization. Strong organizing connects to community members’ commitments to reinvigorate and engage in cultural practices and to re-Indigenize themselves, their food, and their political and economic structures. To learn more about the organization, you can see their Facebook page.

April Focus:“…But what if we did?”
Earth Teacher – Canada Geese
When the world says “never.” When the world says “impossible.” When the world says that the way it’s always been, is the way it’ll always be …
We say “what if?” What if we did?
What if we took our broken hearts, and our aching bodies, and our weary minds, and gave them the care and rest they needed?
What if we loved our neighbors too much to let them suffer alone?
What if we lived for the seventh generation?
And then what if we make it there together?
There is a tangible joy on the horizon – something we can see and feel and smell and touch.
What if we refuse to give in to despair on the journey?
What if we take heart from the people flocking with us?
And when we’re struggling to believe that the future could be any different from the present, we’ll turn to each other and ask: “But what if we did?”
