Seventh Sunday of Easter

Rev. Lauren Cannon, preaching
Rev. Rich Gamble, off
   ​

Scripture: Acts 16:16-34
Greeter: OPEN
Reader: Amber

THIS WEEK: Our Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts are chock full of great reversals. Those who are weary shall be lifted up. Those who are hungry can be fed.  And this week, from Paul and Silas' jail cell, as they sing their way through their wrongful imprisonment, the jailer's heart begins to change. He becomes converted to a new way of life.

As we gather for worship on Sunday we will draw upon this story as we open our own hearts to the possibility of being changed. What reversals and transformations is God inviting you to in your life, and for us together at Keystone?

ALSO: Prayers for Kaaren who was in the hospital this past week.  She is now at the Ballard Rehab, 9520 8th Ave. NW. (or try around the corner at 820 NW 95th St,) in room 531B.  She will be there until Tuesday if anyone would like to visit her.  Afternoons are her best time and she would love to see us.

Praises for Gus, Marilyn and Barbara who attended the Mary’s Place Spring Benefit Luncheon on May 3.  Barbara says it was so inspiring and such a blessing to be a part of the event.  $2 million was raised! Their goal is to have 1,000 beds for the homeless by 2020.  With hope and love it will be accomplished.
 
 
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!

We are excited to announce that the Justice Leadership Program has received a grant from the National UCC Office of Stewardship and Philanthropy in partnership with Environmental Ministries of the UCC to fund two environmental justice positions for the upcoming year: Earth Ministries and 350.org.

Positions for work in housing/homelessness, worker's rights, legislative/policy work, economic justice, and other areas are still open as well.

Justice Leadership Jubilee is a program for adults who want to integrate faith and justice work into their lives in a meaningful way.

Are you looking for the path to re-ignite your faith?

Do you long to deepen your spiritual self through social justice work?

Do you wonder…how do we create sustainable systemic change?

We are looking for adults who are in a transition point in their lives who are seeking an experience of transformation -- maybe you're retiring, maybe children have recently moved out of the house, maybe you're experiencing a lot of change in your work/life balance. That is the time to make intentional choices for your future, and the future of generations to come!

This will be the inaugural year of the program and we are seeking people who are interested in being a part of the formative year of Justice Leadership Jubilee. Please prayerfully consider the program and contact us with any questions or comments!

Come celebrate with Keystone as we help install Rev. Dorhauer, national UCC General Minister & President!


Plymouth Hosts Installation of The Reverend John C. Dorhauer 


This weekend begins a celebrative three-part installation of The Reverend John C. Dorhauer as the United Church of Christ’s ninth General Minister and President. Plymouth Church Seattle, UCC is honored to be one of three churches in the nation to host the installation at 3 pm, Sunday, April 17. All are welcome; reception will follow in Hildebrand Hall.
Preceding the final event at Plymouth, two installations take place – April 15 at Riverside Church, New York City and April 16 at Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago. Described by the UCC as a three-city “progressive” worship service with a trio of UCC pastors and leaders presiding at each, Rev. Dorhauer says the combined events convey that ‘we are all in this together.’ Plymouth Senior Minister Brigitta Remole says, “I see John Dorhauer as both a mystic and social activist, leading the UCC to be a unifying place of extravagant welcome.”
Each service welcomes ecumenical and communion churches with interfaith guests. Hear brief vision statements of Rev. Darrell Goodwin from Liberation United Church of Christ, Rev. Rich Gamble, Keystone Congregational Church UCC and Rev. Sue Artt, Moderator, General Synod. Other pastors include Western Region Conference Ministers Rev. Diane L. Weible, California Nevada Northern; Rev. Dr. Felix Villanueva, California Nevada Southern; Rev. Walter John Boris, Central Pacific; Rev. Charles Buck, Hawaii; Rev. Susan E. Artt, Rocky Mountain; Rev. William Lyons, Southwest and more. Rev. Dorhauer and former General Minister and President Rev. Geoffrey Black, lead communion.
Hear commissioned music by Mark A. Miller, Minister of Music at Christ Church (a UCC and American Baptist Church), Summit, N.J. Miller’s words and music capture the essence of Rev. Dorhauer’s vision: From an ancient past love calls to us, calls to us/offering, shaping a future with hope, from the here and now/love calls to us, calls to us, shaping a future with hope. Music also includes combined children’s and adult choirs from area UCC churches and drumming.
Services will stream live on the UCC website, UCC.org.

Fourth Sunday of Easter
Theme: Reason to Hope. Healing in Community.
Scripture: Acts 9:36-43
Greeter: OPEN
Reader: Elvina
Usher: Jo
Communion Minister: Barbara
Coffee Hour Host: Nell & Barbara
Discussion: Rich Voget will share on the basics of climate change so people will feel more confident discussing it with their friends.
Sunday School: Anita
 
THIS WEEK: We approach our Fourth Sunday of Easter, as we continue to absorb many stories from scripture of Jesus somehow living past death, and becoming present to disciples, and surprising them by appearing.  In the Book of Acts (written by the same author as the Gospel of Luke) we have a range of stories on how the disciples then carry the good news farther and farther out to the world.

Take a look at our upcoming text for Sunday April 17Acts 9: 36- 43.  We each bring our own fears and hurts as we approach this story of a community rallying beside a beloved one who is dying.  We look out from our world characterized by death, illness, and loss and yet here is a declaration that new life can be the surprise next order of the day.  Jesus’ followers assure us of the promise that  Jesus himself embodied, that death will not have the last word.  Come on Sunday to connect at Keystone, as we further take in Easter news that communities of the faithful have reason to hope.  How might we together ask Spirit to embolden us to be a community that gives healing?  How might we live this message from the Book of Acts that no boundary ever need cleave us apart from one another?

- Pastor Lauren

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.
