Closing Minnesota Church Donates $600K to Nonprofits, Converts Property to Affordable Housing

St. Mark's United Church of Christ in Minnesota shut its doors after seven decades, citing a steady decline in membership. As a final act, the congregation distributed around $600,000 among 21 local nonprofit organizations. Among the recipients, Loaves & Fishes received the largest share of $115,000 to support its community meal programs. The church's physical property is set to be redeveloped into affordable housing units for local residents. Through these gestures, the congregation ensured its legacy of community service would endure beyond its closure.

Rare sunflower sea star colony found, offering hope for kelp forest recovery

A decade ago, a marine epidemic wiped out nearly 99% of sunflower sea stars along the California coast, causing sea urchin populations to surge unchecked. The loss of these key predators led to widespread destruction of kelp forests, which are critical ocean ecosystems. Recently, researchers discovered a previously unknown colony of sunflower sea stars, reigniting hopes for ecological recovery. Scientists are now studying the colony's disease resilience to understand what helped them survive. Findings from this research could support future efforts to reintroduce the species to its native ocean habitats.
