Upcoming Events
Ladies Night
Friday, September 9th. We’ll go on the Emerald City Wanderers’ route of the Fremont Ship Canal. It’s a 6K easy urban hike, with a supplied map to give history and facts about what we see. Mainly, it’s a fun way to walk and talk! Meet in the parking lot of Gas Works Park at 7 pm. Contact Reba for more information (206-353-8471)
Christ & Cascadia Conference
October 14 (10am-5pm) & 15 (9am-4pm)
University Presbyterian Church, Seattle WA

Why Christ & Cascadia?
It is clear that this region presents the church with a wide range of cultural challenges and opportunities. How can Christians better understand and respond to these cultural realities?How can they do so with creativity, conviction, and compassion? The Christ & Cascadia Conference envisions a truly collaborative future where Christian scholars, pastors, and cultural leaders can dialogue about the cultural and spiritual renewal of their region….together.

While millions of Christians and thousands of churches call Cascadia “home,” there are relatively few discussions of the relationship between these churches and the regional culture they inhabit. This October a coalition of Christian scholars, pastors, and leaders are gathering in Seattle from around the region to discuss how the church can better know and love this place.

This conference is made possible by a grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and is hosted by the Fuller Institute for Theology and Northwest Culture.

Opportunities to Serve
Community Dinners in August

Join your Greenwood neighbors for dinner on Thursday evenings in August.  Urban Hands hosts weekly dinners at Greenwood Square (85th & Greenwood – entrance by the Windermere building), and Sanctuary is helping set up (4pm), serve (5pm), tear down (6:15-6:45), and (of course) eat.  We need volunteers in all areas, but chiefly our desire is to bring Christ’s love to that person or two you may encounter.  Email Joey DeYoung with your availability to help.
