Thought For the Week
|
"See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful
|
|
day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children,
|
|
and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come
|
|
and strike the land with total destruction."
|

A Message From Pastor Bill
How can I trust my eternal life to God when in my private and honest moments I see my own brokenness? What does it look like as the Holy Spirit brings me to life and grows me? How can I tell others about how God has had mercy on me? Come worship with us this Sabbath.

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. We begin our simplified service at 11am. We will not be holding any Sabbath School classes nor meals at the church at this time.
|
|
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.
|
|
• Maintain social distancing of 6 feet inside and outside of the building.
|
|
• Restrooms should have no more than 2 people in them at a time.
|
|
• Those who are at-risk for health conditions are encouraged to stay home.
|
|
• If you are sick, please stay home and join us on livestream until you are well.
|
|
• Please socialize outside in the breezeways or in the parking lot, not inside the buildings.
|
|
Thank you for taking steps to ensure the health of our congregation!

Women's Ministries: Ladies, you are welcome to join our virtual study Sabbath mornings at 9am. March 20 we will begin a new study looking at the book “HOPE for Troubled Times – How to thrive in a shattered world” by Pastor Mark Finley. ‘Fear, worry, and stress can overwhelm and consume us, but fear must give way to faith as we adjust our focus. Fear is an emotion, Faith is an attitude, and focus is a choice.’ If you are interested in joining our study group or have questions, please contact Anita Dorland or the church office.

"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.”
