Tao Te Ching:

A Book About the Way and the Power of the Way

Rod Purdy leads this study and discussion on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm in the Chapel. This class began this past Wednesday, September 17 and can still accept more members.

The Rhythms of Prayer

During this class we will explore the rich and varied history of Christian prayer through discussion, practice, and reflection. The class is designed to be experiential...so bring your curiosity AND your willingness to "walk a mile" in the shoes of a different type of prayer expression each week. We will reflect on our experiences of the prayer methods we engaged as we gather on Sundays after worship. Begins October 19; led by Corey Passons (APCC Intern)

Children's Ministry at All Pilgrims Needs You

It is immensely rewarding to be part of helping children develop their own relationship with the Divine. It's touching, thought-provoking, and sometimes hilarious. It's a place where we learn about the Holy Spirit AND the Holy Bagel (perhaps that's a gap in your own spiritual formation). As we prepare for another school year, the Youth Team is seeking parents and other volunteers to be part of our Sunday School and Nursery program.

We have a goal of 12 volunteers to share teaching and nursery duties, supported by our paid staff. This allows us to keep volunteer time down to one Sunday per month. All volunteers take Safe Child training and receive a background check in compliance with our insurance policy requirements. If you are interested in serving in this vital, rewarding and fun ministry, please email Kathleen Hosfeld for more information hosfeldk@seattleu.edu or call 206-909-9442.
