So the party this past Sunday was a great "launch" to the work of planting a new church community here in South Lake Union. It was a great collection of friends, both old and new from here in the neighborhood and throughout Seattle. The food was excellent and plentiful, like any good party should have. The conversations were connecting and hopefully, a vision for the future was planted in the hearts of those who were there. So, as I'm particularly fond of asking after coming to a point like this, now what? Where do we go? How do we move forward? Just what, exactly is the next step?I'm glad you asked ... it is simply this, connection. Common Table is a relational expression of the church, upward towards God, inwards towards each other, and then outwards to our community and beyond. In order for relationships to work, grow, thrive, and be expressed, they need to be connected.
The opportunities are many and varied...below are listed the beginnings of them:
- Tuesday evening Study group at the Jacobs in Stack House apts, 2 Tuesdays each month beginning March 4th ... email Dan for details
- Saturday March 8th ... bowling party @ West Seattle Bowl ... rsvp here
- Sunday March 23rd "Launch party #2" at the lounge at Stack House apts 5pm ... bring someone who hasn't been
- April 13th Dinner and worship 5pm ... watch for details
- April 20th ... Easter lunch BBQ in the park ... watch for details
- May 17th ... Lake Union Sweep neighborhood service event 8am-1pm
Anyone and everyone is welcome ... lets stay connected
