Sun. Sept. 14th THEME was: Fear Not/Path of Faith
SCRIPTURE was: Exodus 14:5-8
When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the minds of Pharaoh and his officials were changed towards the people, and they said, ‘What have we done, letting Israel leave our service?’ So he had his chariot made ready, and took his army with him; he took six hundred picked chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the Israelites, who were going out boldly.

White Privilege and Our Call to Action
A faith perspective
As people of faith, we are called to stand against systems that marginalize individuals and communities. Our scriptures illustrate the way that unjust systems hold captive the oppressed as well as the oppressor; the liberation of all people is connected.
Come explore the ways that white privilege (the unearned advantages and benefits that white people receive) affects our lives. The People’s Institute Northwest will lead this discussion as an important stepping stone in engaging in anti-racist work in King County.
Date: Wednesday, Sept. 24
Time: 6pm
Location: Eastgate Congregational UCC, 15318 SE Newport Way, Bellevue.
Please R.S.V.P to Jenn Hagedorn at 206.265.2834 or jhagedorn@plymouthchurchseattle.org
All are welcome to this free event.
In preparation for this event, please read:
• "The Invisible Knapsack" by Peggy McIntosh http://www.nymbp.org/reference/WhitePrivilege.pdf
• "Understanding White Privilege" by Francis E. Kendall

 Film: Film: "A SENSE OF WONDER"
(89 min, Christopher Monger, 2008)
Friday, September 12; 7:00 to 9:30pm; in Battson Hall (downstairs).
A SENSE OF WONDER is an intimate and poignant portrait of Rachel Carson's life as she emerges as America's most successful advocate for the natural world.
When pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson published "Silent Spring" in 1962, the backlash from her critics thrust her into the center of a political maelstrom. Despite her private persona, her convictions about the risks posed by chemical pesticides forced her into the role of controversial public figure.
Actress Kaiulani Lee embodies this extraordinary woman in a documentary style film which depicts Carson in the final year of her life. Struggling with cancer, Carson recounts with both humor and anger the attacks by the chemical industry, the government and the press as she focuses her limited energy to get her message to Congress and the American people.
See the Trailer and extras: http://www.asenseofwonderfilm.com/
Facilitated discussion follows.
FREE and open to the public! ...but Donations are kindly accepted.

Rehearsals start in September
Practicing weekly @ Keystone UCC, in the Learning Center
Ever Thought of Singing Your Politics?
Do you like to sing, build community, and learn about labor and peace struggles? COME JOIN THE FUN, non-audition chorus of dedicated, community-minded folks — the Seattle Labor Chorus (SLC). From September to May you can find SLC singing in four-part harmony at political events, at union assemblies, as well as walking and singing on picket lines. As members strive for a quality sound, SLC attempts to capture the attention and imagination of people who are not already persuaded. We aim to convey a glowing message that social justice is not just about struggle, but also about beauty and culture.
Rehearsals are 7:15-9:15 on Tuesday nights at Keystone Church (5019 Keystone Pl N). Fall is the best time to join. Come try us out!
