Please join us for Missio Dei's second annual benefit dinner. Proceeds from this dinner will help us with our goal of raising 100K for a new hospitality house (more on that below).

Dinner will include appetizer, dinner and dessert. Please let us know if you are vegan or have other dietary concerns.

Our menu includes Caribbean-inspired guava-glazed pulled pork on corn tortillas with a cabbage jicama slaw and chipotle mayonnaise.

To accomodate vegans and vegetarians, we'll provide Cuban style beans and lime rice as a substitute for the pork. The beans and rice will also be served as sides.

Dessert includes both a tropical cheesecake or a vegan/gluten free sweet potato pie.

We'll be serving home-made tamarind citrus ginger ale to drink.

Dinner will be accompanied by live music. 

Childcare will be provided, please let us know if you will be bringing children and their ages. 

$15 suggested donation...you can pay online, but we'd prefer that you pay via cash or check at the door (there are less fees that way). All are welcome, regardless of donation. 

Please RSVP by February 27.

About Missio Dei

Founded in 2003, Missio Dei is an Anabaptist intentional community with members (in two hospitality houses). We are committed to following Jesus’ way of simplicity (seeking a sustainable life with a healthy relationship to possessions), hospitality (inviting friends and strangers to share our life together), prayer (being rooted in life-giving spiritual rhythms), peacemaking (breaking our addiction to power as we get in the way of violence and injustice), and resistance (naming and challenging oppression wherever we find it as we seek to embody an alternative).

About the Hospitality House Campaign

Of all our values, hospitality is most central to who we are as a community. Hospitality has taken many shapes throughout our history – from short term guests who have recently experience foreclosure to longer term guests who have had a history of homelessness and/or institutionalization. We have received many guests from many different walks of life – each with their own story.

Currently, Missio Dei only owns one community house – Clare House. Our reliance upon other housing has been unstable and unsustainable. In recent months, we have had to turn many away. Not only have guests needed lodging, but others have wanted to join our community to help with our work. But we are at capacity.

Missio Dei is currently raising funds for the purchase of a hospitality house to provide food, shelter, and healing that comes from belonging to community. Our goal is to raise $100,000 in 2012. We are hoping to find a fixer-upper large enough to provide 7+ bedrooms for members and guests.

In addition to open hospitality rooms, the house will host several meals a week, open to anyone, and be home to the as-yet-unnamed Center for Peace and Justice (we’ll be asking folks to help us come up with a name in months to come) – a community resource center geared towards the broadening of the peace witness of the Twin Cities faith community.
