Called to Give & Live
GENEROUSLY!
This past Saturday, we hosted a workshop on giving. Folks from different congregations came to be a part of this gathering, led by Anthony Robinson. During our time together, one of the things that really struck me was Tony's talking about a spirituality of generosity. In a society in which greed has become an accepted, even admired, quality, his words framed in this way seemed to do right and good in this day and age. Merriam-Webster includes in it's definition, "characterized by a noble or forbearing spirit. Liberal in giving. Marked by abundance or ample portions."

Macklemore Video Goes Viral
Still haven't seen "Same Love", featuring Ryan Lewis and Seattle's own Macklemore?
One person from Alaska even emailed the Church Office, saying "I found you guys through Macklemore's music video. I have never heard of a church like this! I am so proud of you! I normally am embarrassed by the church... not today! I am honored to be associated in Christ with you'all-- keep up the work!"

End of Life Planning:
A Gift for You and Your Loved Ones
Have you thought about the details of your own dying process Have you made your wishes known to those who would speak for you if you could not speak for yourself? Such discussions are still uncomfortable for many people. We are conditioned not to talk about such topics, or even think about them, until there is a crisis. At that time, a medicalized death with decisions made by others may become inevitable.

Seventh Gay Adventists
- a Film About Faith on the Margins
Faith, identity and sexuality collide as three gay and lesbian Seventh-day Adventists are caught between the church they know and love and their desire to be fully accepted for who they are. One young man spent five years in "ex-gay" therapy trying to become straight, but now he's falling in love with another man and wondering if that can be okay. Another was a Brazilian pastor who was fired for being gay. Can he find his calling again?
Details about the film as well as an opportunity to screen it in Seattle can be found here.
