Join us for services
Worship Every Sunday – 10:30am
All Are Welcome!
Sunday, May 8, 2016
Seventh Sunday of Easter Rev. Lauren Cannon, preaching
Rev. Rich Gamble, off Theme: About Face
Scripture: Acts 16:16-34
Greeter: OPEN
Reader: Amber
Usher: John
Communion Minister: Barbara
Coffee Hour Host: Marilyn
Sunday School: Anita
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!

** NOW RECRUITING INTERNS FOR 2016/17 **
Greetings, We need your help to spread the word -- Applications for the Justice Leadership Program are still being accepted on a rolling basis. Please consider the program yourself or think about young adults (ages 21-35) you know who may be interested in a transformational year of justice work in Seattle. 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. For more information, contact myself or Elizabeth Dickinson ( jlp.elizabeth@gmail.com) or visit our website.
In faith,

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!
For more information, please read these flyers:
Initial Proposal: Justice Leadership Jubilee

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 is @ Keystone on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays, as well as Sundays. Wednesday office times. And as she is often out and about for meetings and visits, just email Lauren to make an appointment on any of those days at lauren.cannon@keystoneseattle.org |
