Mark the date! Get ready to lace up your running or walking shoes! Our 11th year 5aK run and walk event will be held on Saturday June 7th, 2025 at 7am at Como Regional Park, St Paul, MN.
This is a fantastic opportunity to come together as a family and friends, stay active, and support our church congregation.
God willing, this will be our last 5K event before we transition to our new church building. So, start preparing to run or walk! Whether you decide to walk, jog or race, we would love to see you at the 5K event.
We will have more detailed info about the event soon. Stay tuned!

Thank you Dr Ashagre for diversifying our volunteer for church funds opportunity to include work at state fair events. There are 14 volunteer dates in August. Three days at US Bank Stadium (Aug 12, Aug 19 and Aug 26) and 12 days at MN State Fair (Aug 24 – Sept 4). As you would surmise Identifying and Coordinating the volunteer pool for the state fair events is the most pressing at the moment as we would need to know the number of volunteers by EOD Sunday July 23.
We are kindly asking all of you to consider registering as an individual or as a group for the state fair events from Aug 24 to Sept 4. There will be 7 weekdays and 5 weekends and public holidays during the event. The math is clear. The more days and/or the more parking lots we staff the more funds we will generate for our church. Let’s go DSMA!

As you / members of our Church / are aware that the board of trustees of Minnesota Debreselam Medhanealem Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church had assigned a committee to review the bylaw of our Church and recommend amendments back to the board.
After the assigned committee had completed its task and submitted its proposals, the board of trustees on its part reviewed and approved the amendments having made some changes to some of the proposed amendments.
Since the final draft of the bylaw should be discussed and approved by members of the Church in a duly called General Assembly meeting, here posted are the proposed amendments to view and discuss.
The board of trustees will soon announce the date of the General Assembly meeting for discussion over these amendments and for approval by the GA.
