Sometimes the smallest prayers are the biggest ones. “I pray for you” 🥰

Grateful for the Ely Fire Department and their quick response time. A bad lighting ballast provided quite the excitement today.

Blizzard wins this round.

Out of care for everyone’s safety, tonight’s Ash Wednesday plans are cancelled — both Ashes to Go in the park and our evening service.

I know this day matters to a lot of us. If you were planning to come, maybe let the storm itself be a reminder: we are dust… and we are held. Stay home. Light a candle. Say a quiet prayer. Reach out to someone who might be feeling isolated in the snow. We’ll begin Lent together soon enough. For now, stay safe and stay warm, Ely.

Big day in Ely.
It’s permit day, the unofficial Ely holiday when outfitters, paddlers, and Boundary Waters dreamers everywhere are refreshing browsers and crossing their fingers.

Wishing good luck to everyone trying to secure a BWCA permit today. May the dates line up, your dream routes be available, and the season ahead be full of beauty, rest, and good stories to tell.

Here’s to another summer of quiet lakes, early morning loons, and time well spent in the woods.

Grateful for everyone who gathered with us. May the light you held keep shining in the days ahead. Merry Christmas!
