Lauren, Angel, Megan, Dan, Gary, Cathy ventured by bus to downtown Seattle. Some had never sat in the middle turning space on an articulated bus. We went to Seattle center food court for lunch, then onto the ice skating rink! Several hadn't been on ice skates before and learned how to get around the rink without to many falls! There was an ice sculpture working on a piece. I (Cathy) convinced them to join me on the Carousel. Then off we went by Monorail to see the Gingerbread house exhibit. A street Santa shared a picture with us even in the rain! A great adventure was had by all!

Potluck with Shepherding Elder groups and funny hat day!

The Lake City Christian Church "team" walked around Green Lake for the CROP walk.(Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty)

Youth took out notices to the neighborhood last Sunday. The notice asked the neighbors to leave food out the next Sunday and they would pick it up for the local food bank. Here is the food they picked up along with food brought in by our members. Just in time for Thanksgiving meals for our neighbors who are needy.

October 30, 2010: We hiked this moderate 4 mile round trip trail through lush ferns, trees, and rain.

September 18, 2010: We hiked this beautiful 5.5 mile round trip on a wonderful, summer afternoon.

We congratulate Joel Smith on his accomplishment of Eagle Scout. His court of honor was held at church on 9/19/2010. Parents, fellow scouts and leaders were also honored. Many Eagle scouts in attendance were also celebrated.

Designed and sold by the youth for $15 each. All sizes available. Shirts go on sale Sunday Sept. 5th at church. This is for a fundraiser to support Youth Mission Trip next year.

Jen, Lauren, Angel and Abi were baptised Sunday. With singing Happy Birthday we all welcomed them into new life with Christ!

The youth camped in the McKee back yard. They used tarps to fashion dry sleeping space in the Seattle rain. Yes, it rained a bunch but in the morning everyone was dry! They visited the sculpture garden in Seattle, flew kites on "kite hill" at Gasworks park, scavenger hunted at Carkeek park....all in very heavy rains! Cooked everything on the camp fire. Ask the youth about orange eggs & muffins on the fire! When given the option of sleeping inside they just added onto the tarps to take care of the blowing rain. Mary & Tanya shared worship and dessert with us Saturday evening. Even got everyone to church on time for worship! Good times shared together as a youth group.

Preparing to attend the Elders' August potluck, Miss Thea not only picked the blackberries, but also baked the pie and modeled her fashionable chef's hat and apron. (Okay, maybe Mom helped a little bit.)

Ivonne's citizenship party!

Everyone who attended church on Sunday July 11 donated their hand drawings to decorate the Food Bank Barrel. We will fill the barrel and on August 6 the food bank will weigh the foods to see which organization donated the most by weight. We encourage everyone to bring in "meal in a can" or "protein in a can" since these are the most needed for distribution. Bring your food and lend your HAND to feed the hungry in our area.

First images surface of the new meditation garden completed on May 31st 2010! See Member Forums for description of work and work party
