Join us for services
Worship Every Sunday – 10:30am
All Are Welcome!
Sunday, April 3, 2016 Rev. Rich Gamble, preaching
Rev. Lauren CannonTheme: Authority Scripture: Acts 5:27-32
Greeter: OPEN
Reader: Nell
Usher: Amber
Coffee Hour Host: Nick & Hannah
Sunday School: Anita & Paisley leading lesson on Nature
THIS SUNDAY: After worship, during coffee hour, is our next congregational conversation to discuss what we most value as Keystone UCC. Childcare is arranged. University Baptist Church (Seattle) has invited our church into conversation about possibly merging. We are in a series of discussions to identify what is important to us. We are less focused on merger. But we may want to soon empower our team to go have more conversation with UBC. It would be a process with plenty of chances to weigh in down the road.
This Sunday we continue our congregational conversations from February 28 and March 13, and look forward to hearing from more Keystone folks who were not able to be at previous discussions.
~Lauren & Rich
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Click HERE to read Pastor Rich Gamble's letter to the congregation, regarding our decision to enter talks about a possible merger with University Baptist Church.
PRAYERS: For St Paul's UCC in Ballard, recovering from fire in their building. For Sandie - passing of her sister early this week. Sandie is also recovering from a fall that bruised her back.
Families: Sunday Worship: Pick up Children's Activity pages & crayons on the welcome table every week as you come in to worship (based on the scripture of the day.) There are two types: younger children & older children. Children of any age are always part of worship & welcome!
• Childcare with Anita, open every Sunday 10:00am- 12pm
• Sunday School (multi-age) downstairs, during sermon & prayers time: approximately 10:45-11:15am. (Help younger children to class after the scripture is read; and then pick them up to return for start of communion)
NOTE: Children with parent/caregiver are always welcome to move between the Sanctuary & Narthex (welcome area) during any part of worship, to head to classrooms, or enjoy the playground out back!

Pastoral Care & Keystone UCC Hours:
Rich and Lauren can be reached at the Keystone office: (206) 632-6021. This phone is also checked remotely since both Rich and Lauren serve half-time.
Mondays: the church office is closed. Mondays are the day that Rich and Lauren take Sabbath. So while there are several groups that meet throughout the day and evening at Keystone, it may take a day for someone to get back to you, if you call on a Monday.
Pastor Rich is available Tuesday to Thursday mornings and Friday evenings, and holds additional office times on Saturdays and Sundays. Not all of these times will Rich be in the church office. If you want to see him, it is best to make an appointment. Email him at rich.gamble@keystoneseattle.org
Pastor Lauren works on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and holds office hours each Thursday at Keystone. Email her at lauren.cannon@keystoneseattle.org |
