Happy Easter Bluesky! We pray that we can all live into the promise of life over death, hope over fear, and justice over oppression.

During a recent clean up, we found the original pulpit Bible, given by the Sunday School in 1911 when the church was just 12 years old. Back then, we were called Ballard Presbyterian and were located on the corner of 17th & Market in Ballard.

We continue our REVEAL week by looking at power and intersectionality. "We always talk about the compounding factors of our unique stories and how they intersect with power and leadership. This is why humanizing all our experiences is so crucial." - Turning Over Tables, pg.30, Kathy Escobar

Feb 28 is a nationwide Economic Boycott to support diversity, equity, and inclusion, endorsed by the BIPOC pastors of Seattle Presbytery. Avoid shopping or eating at major retailers or fast-food, either in person or on-line. Instead support local and POC-owned businesses, using cash if possible.

Yeah, Lent isn't for a while, but the way time flies, it will be here before we know it. This year, our Lenten Devotional and sermon series will be based from this new book by Kathy Escobar that comes out Jan 14. You can pre-order it for less through the PCUSA Bookstore

May peace and joy be yours forever.

If you’re seeking a chill place to spent Christmas Eve, join us. We have cookies and coffee after.

We are posting each day as we read Erin Wathen’s Calling All Angels Advent devotional. Since Canva doesn’t support posting to Bluesky, I’m cross posting a bit late.

Our community came together to make Thanksgiving dinner for all 20 of our shelter guests. I’m incredibly thankful that I get to pastor such a loving community committed to seeing our church used to house folks who need it.
