Please get in touch with Wendy Tyner or Julie Shryock if you have any questions about the campaign. 

Conversation to Care for Creation meets this Sunday during coffee hour in the living room. We are still considering how to live out our faith while resisting. Is resistance part of creation care? What does nature call us to do? How does nature guide your values? Our gardens go deep for winter, gathering life deep in the soil, ready to bloom into a light for us to follow. Be ready.

Anne-Gabrielle Boucher, “Celestial Arches”

Anne-Gabrielle Boucher is a French-American artist raised on Bainbridge Island. Her current practice focuses on exploring natural forms and celebrating color with oil pastels, pastels, and colored pencils. “Celestial Arches” uses the framework of the cathedral arch as a way to investigate abstraction and texture infused with the poetry of colors found in nature. Meet the artist at a reception during coffee hour on November 2. 

Enter In
The Power of Parables

November 4, 11, 18, 
7 p.m. at Grace Church

Led by Eric Mason & Kim Cockroft
Open to All

Learn to live in God’s Kingdom, one parable at a time. Jesus’ stories shocked, stirred, and transformed his original listeners into new ways of seeing and being. Over the years, we’ve domesticated those parables until they are rote and predictable.

Join us as we hear Jesus’ stories again with new ears and open hearts.
