An evening of song and story paving pathways
toward truth, justice and racial healing

Reggie Harris travels the world using music and the spoken word to make an impact in issues related to education, social and racial justice, the environment, and human and civil rights.

Reggie is recognized as one of the foremost presenters of songs in historical context, raising public awareness of the powerful narrative of the Underground Railroad and of the role of music in the Modern Civil Rights Movement. He creates captivating performances for audiences of all ages, in an atmosphere of inclusion and hope as he works to help build a community of light and understanding.
Come join us in the hope that working together we can move toward creating a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal from the racial wounds of the past and present.

Learn with Our Sacred Heart Shelter Team on Feb. 5th

Our Feb. 5th Learning and Fellowship Wednesday night supper workshop, 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Battson Hall, will provide an update from our Sacred Heart Shelter team on how you can help our ministry as we shift to new ways of accompanying the families in transitional shelter.

Come learn how Michelle, Christian, Rita, Barb, and John have been strategically helping shepherd our work with Sacred Heart Shelter since our congregation voted to concentrate our efforts toward the equipment & supply provision that has been requested. We will be joined by Selena Carsiotis, the volunteer and resources coordinator at Sacred Heart.


We voted to sunset our dinner serving efforts in the spring of 2019, so we have been able to help Sacred Heart take some seismic leaps in their facility & efficiency, with thanks to generous donors, who have empowered us, to bridge needs, in some specific areas.

Come learn what we have been able to do, and come see how you may be inspired to help. Come help assemble move out packets. As we share supper, we will do a little study on the ways our congregation engages on the continuum of charity & justice.

Bring a dish/side/vegetable/dessert/anything to share, if you can!  Bring a song or two to play from your phone while we assemble packets!

FOR ADVOCACY

We have a great opportunity in this short Washington legislative session to make a difference! Some great legislation has been proposed to addressing racial disparities in housing, voting rights for those exiting prison, clean fuel standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restricting high capacity gun magazines, and immigrant rights. Let’s raise our voices to get these bills passed! There will be issues that we at Keystone can speak up about.  Barbara will be doing a Take 5 on Sundays after worship. Additionally, there are at least three opportunities to head to Olympia in person to speak with your legislators about the issues that you want them to address: 
Housing & Homelessness Advocacy Day: February 3rd is Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day in Olympia. The Coalition on Homelessness will be taking a bus down mostly filled with the clients and co-workers from different organizations. If you are interested in going that day please talk with Barbara about it. It would be wonderful to have a car go down from Keystone that day.  Please let her know by January 27th.

Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Day: 
Join the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network and other immigrant and refugee rights groups in Olympia as they advocate for our immigrant and refugee neighbors. Register here. Some transportation is available. See the website for more information.
February 6th is the Faith Action Network’s (FAN) Interfaith Advocacy Day in Olympia. As an Advocating Congregation, Keystone joins Faith Action Network to bring to our elected leaders the voice of compassion and justice. We partner for the common good with people of all faiths in standing for our shared values. Register now at bit.ly/IFAD2020, and talk to Barb if you’re interested in carpooling! And to Lauren if you want to join the northside van from Ballard First Lutheran with others from St. John United Lutheran (by zoo).  $15 registration includes lunch and a meeting with your state legislators! 

Can't go to Interfaith Advocacy Day? Get on FAN's Action Alert online list for notifications about the progress of bills that the statewide religious community has prioritized. Check out www.fanwa.org for more information.

Meaningful Movies in Wallingford: Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins
7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7 at Keystone

Release Year: 2019
Running Time: 93 minutes
Directors: Janice Engel

This film tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. RAISE HELL is a documentary about the celebrated national political columnist and Texan,  who used her razor sharp wit to speak truth to power. Her  wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said “Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country.”
More quotes by Molly:
“So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.”
“I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag.”
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for snacks and conversation. Film starts at 7 p.m. After the film, please join us for a community discussion.
** All events are Open to the Public. Admission is by Donation **
We help communities organize, educate, advocate & build community around social justice documentary film and conversation.



Los Eternos Indocumentados: a screening by the Seattle Interfaith Migrants Rights Network

Saturday, February 29, 2 p.m.

Where: Washington State Labor Council, 321 16th Ave. S, Seattle, WA 98144.
Admission: Free (but RSVP at the screening's EventBrite site so that organizers know how many people to expect)


The Seattle Interfaith Migrants Rights Network's (SIMRN) first-ever film screening, produced together with International Migrants Association. Los Eternos Indocumentados is a documentary exploring root causes of forced migration from Central America and the experiences of people who make the perilous journey to the United States from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. After the film, there will be an audience discussion with support from local experts, and organizers will present ways to take action to provide solidarity to migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border and here in Washington State. Donations will be taken at the door to support local migrant justice organizations. Because the goal with this event is to build awareness, community, and solidarity, SIMRN is especially looking to make this event welcoming and accessible for people who aren’t as knowledgeable about Central American migration. The building’s entrance, doorways, and bathrooms are all wheelchair accessible, and front row seating will be prioritized for people who are hard of hearing. Spanish interpretation during the discussion will also be provided. View the trailer here: Los Eternos Indocumentados

Lenten Climate Study: Read Naomi Klein's On Fire With Us

In March 2020, our Lenten study with our pastors will help us deepen our climate action as a faith community. Using the book On Fire: The (Burning) Case for the Green New Deal by Naomi Klein as our conversation partner, we'll talk together about why climate justice is central to our faith, and the different ways we can put our faith around climate justice into action together.

You can buy your own copy of the book (Check with Pastors Lauren, Yuki or Rich if you'd like to be part of a group order) or check it out from your local library to follow along with the study, or you can read the excerpts that are available online. Pastor Yuki is creating a study guide, which will be available soon.

Dates for the study are the four Wednesday nights in March -- March 4, 11, 18 and 25, from 5:30-7 p.m. in Battson Hall. There'll also be an online component for those who want to follow along with the lessons but can't make it to the sessions in person.

Other ways to focus on climate justice during this season:

  • Join the People's Echo singing events @All Pilgrims on Cap Hill, for learning songs we can lead at future demonstrations. The singing teach-ins are 6-8 p.m Feb. 13 and March 5. 
  • Make your donation to our solar panels for our roof (see more below)! Every bit helps make a lasting boost toward aligning our community's values, for years to come!

Outreach to Raise Solar Funds

Christian, Eliza and the Keystone GreenTeam folks are at work, setting up an online donation system.  We are already receiving electronic gifts from Meaningful Movies folks.  Please invite your contacts to donate to the solar installation.  Within a few short years, we will be giving energy into the grid.

We are asking for participation from our many good groups and people of our extended community of neighbors, renters and visitors.  We have started making visits to users of the building, giving a quick intro at their group, to share the news they can donate to the solar panels.  Maybe you want to be on a team to meet with Taiwanese UCC, or Wallingford Co-op PreSchool, or Seattle Labor Chorus, or Seattle Peace Chorus, and more?  Let us know.  And thank you -- spread the word!  





The Pacific Northwest Conference has a new home for sharing news and information about goings-on in the conference: GoogleGroups. Previously, the conference has been using a Yahoo!Group as an online center for conversations about PNC happenings. Yahoo!Groups recently shut down, so the conference has a new home on GoogleGroups. If you were a member of the PNC's Yahoo!Group and haven't received an email from the conference notifying you that you have been added to the new Google Group, or if you'd like to become a member of the Google Group, send an email to pncucc@gmail.com.

Support Domestic Workers in Washington State

"Did you know that domestic workers - house cleaners, nannies, and care providers for elderly and disabled people - are not protected by the same worker protections as other workers in Washington?   Eight states and two cities have passed Domestic Worker Bills of Rights that provide protections including health benefits, paid time off, paid breaks, harassment, written contracts and additional legal protections. It’s time for Washington to recognize the critical work of domestic workers by passing the Washington Domestic Worker Bill of Rights." ~ Hand in Hand
From Pastor Lauren: 

I got to attend the Dec. 1 showing of the film Roma at University Heights and heard from domestic workers afterwards.  Seattle is the first city in the United States to have a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights!  In July 2018, the City passed a Domestic Workers Ordinance (DWO). This law gives minimum wage, rest break, and meal break rights to domestic workers. The Seattle Office for Civil Rights is overseeing these protections.  Now we need to secure a Bill of Rights for WA state.
"Millions of American households employ domestic workers to provide care for children, support for seniors and people with disabilities, and housecleaning. The majority of these domestic workers are women, and of these, a majority are foreign born women of color."  ~Hand in Hand.
As we watched Roma, I held close how many of us at Keystone are grateful when we have the right home care attendant, or childcare provider.  Or life throws a curve ball, and we find we are in a position where we seek a domestic helper (house cleaner, nannie, garden helper, home care attendant, childcare, etc).  Sometimes a strategic bit of work, by a skilled domestic worker, can be what helps other household pieces all come together in health.  Or it gifts  quality time with a loved one.  (Or those of us who don't employ domestic care givers, can see that vulnerable work needs protections, like health benefits.)

Keystone has been meeting with folks at Hand in Handregarding the bill going through the legislative session that could ensure protections for 100,000 WA domestic workers.  Hand in Hand helped get the Seattle ordinance passed.  Now a Bill of Rights for WA state domestic workers.

The bill is heading through committee now.  It will ensure  minimum wage, rest and meal breaks, and freedom from harassment and retaliation. 

Hand in Hand invites us all to the lobby day on Monday, January 27, and before that, 300 signatures on the petition. I signed, and invite you to check it out here: petition.  Share it with a couple friends beyond our congregation?  

Sunday January 26 at Noon we will get a chance to ask organizer Erica Skler questions at coffee hour.  We can Take 5 for Advocacy to prep to call our legislators on 1/27, as Hand in Hand will be meeting with them @ 1/27 Advocacy Day.  Take a look- thank you!

Learn with Our Sacred Heart Shelter Team on Feb. 5th

Our Feb. 5th Learning and Fellowship Wednesday night supper workshop, 5:30 to 7 p.m. in Battson Hall, will provide an update from our Sacred Heart Shelter team on how you can help our ministry as we shift to new ways of accompanying the families in transitional shelter.

Come learn how Michelle, Christian, Rita, Barb, and John have been strategically helping shepherd our work with Sacred Heart Shelter since our congregation voted to concentrate our efforts toward the equipment & supply provision that has been requested. We voted to sunset our dinner serving efforts in the spring of 2019, so we have been able to help Sacred Heart take some seismic leaps in their facility & efficiency, with thanks to generous donors, who have empowered us, to bridge needs, in some specific areas.

Come learn what we have been able to do, and come see how you may be inspired to help. Come help assemble move out packets. As we share supper, we will do a little study on the ways our congregation engages on the continuum of charity & justice.

Bring a dish/side/vegetable/dessert/anything to share, if you can!  Bring a song or two to play from your phone while we assemble packets!
======================================================

FOR ADVOCACY


Free Advocacy 101 workshops: The Coalition on Homelessness where Barbara is a volunteer, is putting on three Advocacy 101 workshops. They are FUN and free 2-hour workshops with Nancy Amidei. The workshop closest to Keystone will be Wednesday, January 29th, from 6 to 8 p.m. at University UCC Church, 4515 16th Ave. NE. If you would like to go please register online at homlessinfo.org. Barbara will be attending. TURN YOUR PASSION INTO ACTION!

Legislative watch: January 13th was the first day of the legislative session.  It is a short session and goes until March 13th. Gov. Inslee asked for $300 million from the rainy day fund to help with housing and homelessness issues. There will be issues that we at Keystone can speak up about.  Barbara will be doing a take 5 on Sundays after worship. 


Housing & Homelessness Advocacy Day: February 3rd is Housing and Homelessness Advocacy Day in Olympia. The Coalition on Homelessness will be taking a bus down mostly filled with the clients and co-workers from different organizations. If you are interested in going that day please talk with Ba
rbara about it. It would be wonderful to have a car go down from Keystone that day.  Please let her know by January 27th.

Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Day: Join other advocates for justice for migrants on Wednesday, February 5th in Olympia, as we argue for the right to go to court without risking arrest, ending for-profit ICE detention centers in Washington State, and more. Register here.
February 6th is the Faith Action Network’s (FAN) Interfaith Advocacy Day in Olympia.  Each winter, we send forth a Keystone team to some of the three Interfaith Advocacy Day (IFAD) opportunities that bring voices of compassion and justice to our elected officials. In Olympia, we gather at The United Churches of Olympia for workshops, strategy meetings in legislative districts, and meetings with our legislators. IFAD was unfortunately snowed out last year, so we are hoping to be a bold presence in Olympia in 2020! To register for IFAD in Olympia, RSVP here.

Solar Power to the People

You may have noticed we now have a white metal roof over the sanctuary (yay!)  So we turn to part two of our roof plans -- raising funds for our solar panels. Christian has created this poster to explain and track our fund-raising efforts. We'll color in the thermometer as we go, to show how much closer we are to our goal. Keep watch in the church narthex (lobby), and let folks know about this work of environmental stewardship that Keystone is taking up.
