Come for this meditative practice (through zoom) as we sit with the scripture for Sunday May 30:
PS- Hi, maybe you expected Wednesday eve… so please note we are practicing Thursdays on zoom starting this week. Or perhaps you will be coming to the 6:30 zoom Listening Session and can come for the prayerful practice first? All welcome- no prep necessary!
One of the ways to mark the anniversary of George Floyd’s death is to push for specific tangible long-lasting systemic reform. You can help here on the policing act! Also: these actions been culled to be powerfully timed: can you help make recovery just? Extend our WA eviction moratorium, expand health care. Close Guantanamo. And thank you- some King County folks will at last get their stimulus checks: see more on all these here:

Rev. Lauren here. I loved Rev. Rich’s simple Prayer that closed our online Communion and our Benediction from Sunday May 23. Online worship is a different format and liturgical form than in person. But incase some of the Spirit of it comes through on the page, may this short Prayer/Benediction offer you encouragement this week:
We are loved by the source of love. We are fed by source of all things. We are called to be living blessings to the people and the planet. We have what we need to be the people God hopes we will be. Let us go forth with love and hope and joy.
~ We Pray in Community ~
~Prayers listed here include, in general terms, some of what was lifted aloud online in worship Sunday May 23~
~Please add your love, as you pray each name, concern, or joy- and reach out to one another!~
(Prayers are listed approx. two weeks, unless you prefer otherwise.)
Moments of insight, that change our lives forever.
The path of love.
To a brighter future.
Awaken to our callings.
Holy God, in your mercy ... hear our prayers!
Continue to send your prayers to Lauren & Rich and as you wish, we can include them in Sunday worship online or Wednesday gatherings online or this weekly Newsletter.
