Stories captivate us.  They awaken our hearts and release our imaginations. They also have the power to enslave our dreams and stunt our lives.  The stories you believe determine who you are and how you live. Through Jesus, God has given us a story by which we can interpret and understand our lives.
Life Group Highlight of the Week

1+1+1 small logoHere at All Saints, we want the people of Seattle to know and understand the reality of an abundant life in Christ. This can only happen if we live out our faith in the same places where we live out our lives. The 1 + 1+ 1 forumla is a way to bring together our faith and our personal lives to coexist as one. The formula includes 1 church gathering + 1 service team + 1 life group. In the coming weeks, we will be highlighting each life group. We want to help you find a community at All Saints to actively believe, doubt and seek with, while enjoying good food, conversation and Christian fellowship.

Accountability & Encouragement (A&E):
Men getting together to encourage each other and help each other by being accountable. Anyone who deals with life's ups-and-downs and is interested in exploring how we as men should, and do, deal with the curve balls life throws at us is welcome.

Women's Unscripted Mondays:
This will be a casual time for women to get together weekly and journey through the Bible together. As we look at Scripture, our hope is for women to be empowered by God's unlimited and unconditional love for us and to discover how to live tha tout in our daily lives. This will also be a time for women to grow closer to one another in bouth prayer and encouragement. Women looking to connect with other women and delve into honest discussion about Jesus and hour our relationship affects our lives are welcome.

Summer Beach Party and Baptisms:
On August 30th we invite you to head to Golden Gardens Beach after our Sunday gatherings for our annual Beach Party and Baptisms!  All Saints will provide the drinks, plates and utensils, the grill and good times! Bring a picnic lunch, meat to grill and a dish to share if you'd like. We will meet at the beach following the 11am gathering. We'll be baptizing people in the Puget Sound and then will enjoy the afternoon together at the beach.  If you would like someone to contact you about helping out please sign up at the concierge desk or send us an email to life@believedoubtseek.org

Life Groups:
Our fall season of life groups will begin on September 27th, and we are currently recruiting leaders. If you are interested in leading a group this fall, or have an idea for a group you feel is needed, please contact Stacy Baas at lifegroups@believedoubtseek.org

Central America Missions Trip:
The Central America Missions Trip team will hold their first informational meeting Sunday, August 23rd, in the multipurpose room downstairs after the 11am gathering.
