We currently gather for interactive online worship through  Zoom. The link to the service is mailed through the newsletter every Sunday morning. Want to invite someone to worship with us? Send them the Sunday newsletter "Cheat Sheet", or invite them to subscribe to our newsletter through our web site by clicking here: http://www.keystoneseattle.org/contact.

SUNDAY SCHEDULE: Our Sundays together begin at 10 a.m. with a "Bring Your Own Coffee ☕ (half) hour" time to see each other and talk before worship.

After worship, you can share your Announcements, and then we host 
Break Out small groups for about 10 minutes to connect.

Happy Listening Anytime:  Miss a Sermon or Worship?  Watch sermons and worship services on our YouTube page & subscribe!  You can go back to find specific Prayers or Benedictions as well.

Audio also Available Online: Click on a file for a listen from the archives, back in the sanctuary HERE, and share!  

Please continue to add your prayers for these lifted during online worship together on Oct. 18:

  • For Dorothy's son, Michael, who is having surgery on his pancreas; 
  • Betty asked prayers for Lisa's mom, who is having pain from cancer. 
  • Dick asked for prayers for people who are in need of food. 
  • For Sandie and her family following the death of her nephew. 
Holy God, in your mercy ... hear our prayers!

These prayers are crafted to carry a sense of the ones shared in worship to our whole community, in the spirit in which they were given, but not in specifics, as we guard our community's privacy.  Also welcome: send Rev. Lauren a note during the week with any prayer request.  We are happy to incorporate it into our online worship (if you may not be up for voicing it).  

Contact Keystone's pastors for any pastoral concerns (contact info is below and at the bottom of this newsletter)
