Book of Faith at Memorial Lutheran
The Book of Faith is an initiative of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The Book of Faith initiative invites the whole church to become more fluent in the first language of faith, the language of Scripture, in order that we might live into our calling as a people renewed, enlivened, empowered, and sent by the Word. You can find out more at www.bookoffaith.org.

"Come for the View - Stay for the Journey"
One of the first things we notice about Memorial Lutheran Church of Afton, is its setting. Overlooking forested land and the sparkling blue St. Croix River, its post card view takes in the beauty of God's creation. Memorial is more than its postcard beauty. It is a place to reflect on the many views that God creates - views made visible through the forgiveness, healing, acceptance and hope of Christ's love.
We are called to a journey of faith. We experience the many ways God has worked in our lives and in the lives of others. We understand that God uses us to be a loving presence in the world and often calls us into places of service and outreach. This journey is ever evolving yet centered on the grace embodied in the story of Jesus. It is grace that teaches us to "welcome without exception, listen without judgment, and support without prejudice ALL people."
We invite you to join us on this journey. We look forward to the many views that God has in store for us as God uses us to be a healing and renewing presence in this world.
