Thought For the Week
|
3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior"

A Message From Pastor Bill
How is Christianity different than every other religion? Is Christianity about what I bring to God or what He has done for me? How can I be amazed by grace?
|
We are going to celebrate communion this Sabbath. With Covid we cannot have foot washing so you are invited to do this at home if you'd like. When you come into church, there will be a table with a bottles of grape juice and ziploc bags with a piece of communion bread. Please take one of each into the service with you and we will celebrate receiving Christ and what he has done for us together. Also, pray for Jesus to prepare your heart so this is a powerful experience for you. For those of you who are worshipping from home, please see the previous email with the recipe for communion bread. This is an important reminder that the Christian life is not about what we bring Jesus but about what we receive from him. Whatever we give him and do for him and in obedience to him is merely and only saying thank you. It is deeply encouraging to our hearts to take part on this. Please make plans to be part of this. The darker the world gets the more we need the peace and joy of trusting Jesus.

FREE Medical/Dental Clinic
|
Thank you to each one who took part in the medical and dental clinic this past Sabbath. Whenever Jesus performed a healing miracle on Sabbath he always initiated the healing. Most of the other miracles Jesus was approached and asked for help.

Re-Opening Safety Guidelines

King County is still in Phase 2, which allows churches to meet with up to 25% of it's capacity, which means we may have up to 110 people in the sanctuary and overflow in the Fellowship Hall.

|
|
If you are planning to attend, please be aware of the following precautions:

|
• Masks must be worn throughout the service while in the building (unless you have medical reasons not to). We will provide a mask if you don’t have one.
|

"Just Us," a new podcast from Washington Conference, launched this year to model healthy and respectful conversation about race, justice and Christianity. “Second Corinthians 7:2 gives counsel to ‘make room in your heart,’ and that is what we desire to do through this podcast,” says Bill Roberts, podcast host. “We may not always agree with each other, but we want to respect each other and move forward with understanding to bring glory to God and to help this world be a better place."The podcast originated after a pastor’s meeting in January 2019 where ministers learned how to have crucial conversations. “I asked the panel: ‘What can we do to keep growing?’” Roberts recalls. “The younger pastors said: ‘Do a podcast.’” Roberts is joined in the podcast with co-hosts Hanz Jouissance, John Brunt, and Mimi Weithers-Bruce. Each 45-60-minute episode blends history, personal experience and scripture. The pilot episode shares how the panel became involved in racial reconciliation.“It’s a difficult conversation in the church because we are all believers who are supposed to have a common ground,” admits Jouissance.“There are so many people who don’t want to change their heart. They want to keep things the way they are,” acknowledges Weithers-Bruce. “We are asking people to listen and learn.”
