Blessing of the Animals August 19 at 9:30 AM (Service will be held outside)

A Look From Brook I think I’ve finally made it! After two years of feeling like I’ve been living in a “foreign land” I now feel like I’m an official Seattle-ite! My test you ask? I have officially become a coffee elitist!...... Read More..

Our Fall Kickoff is set for Sunday, September 9th!  We will kick-off with Worship at 9:30 and then gather for a potluck and more after worship. Our hope is that you will open your heart to inviting new folk into the Bear Creek UMC experience!.  Please plan to join us as we start an incredible year off on September 9th!

Bear Creek Parsonage gets a new paint job!  Pastor Brook and Cyndy would like to thank the trustees for arranging for painters to come and paint the parsonage. From the bright and inviting yellow door to the two-toned color experience with the white trim, this house is now looking smart and inviting!  Some would say, “You can’t miss it!  A special thanks to Keith Larson for arranging the painters and working with them! HELP US CATCH UP! Just a quick note on finances: We are lagging behind in our giving in the last two months or so. Can you do us a favor? Can you check and see if you are current on your pledges and do everything you can to catch up? And secondly, can you consider giving an extra gift to help us catch up? Thanks so much! Pastor Brook

Upcoming Events & Opportunities to Serve:

KRABBY PICNIC

While it is an all-day event (9am-8pm), nobody is expected to stay for the fully scheduled time unless desired.  The actual potluck is scheduled for 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Come for as long or as short of a time that works for you. I believe it is wheelchair/handicapped accessible. The potluck portion of the day starts closer to 4pm. The event is in Everett at Boxcar Park (part of the Everett Marina) The directions are as follows: Heading North I-5, you can exit in two places off I5, either will get you there! Take the Broadway exit. Turn left onto Pacific Ave. Turn right onto W Marine View Drive Turn left onto 13th St. go around the round-a-bout (you will go straight) and proceed to the end of the road (go past Craftsman Way). There you will find a gravel parking lot. Follow the signs for Box Car Park. You can park near the Park itself, being the large logs In case you miss the exit, you can exit I5 at the Marine View exit and follow it to 13th Street (you will pass the main entrance to the boat launch. Proceed to 13th street and turn right. Then follow the directions above. To me, this is the long way. . We ask that families bring a potluck item to share, such as a pasta or salad or dessert. We will have hamburgers and hotdogs if we are not blessed with abundant crab. If you have any other questions, Karl is a resource if you have questions about the facilities or crabbing in general (karlbrackmann@msn.com).
