Twenty-second Sunday After Pentecost

"Taste and See"

Psalm 34:1-8

October 24, 2021

We are delving back into one of the classic Psalms this week: Psalm 34:1-8.

This week, we welcomed Councilperson John Hines, Mayor Victoria Woodards and Governor Jay Inslee for a tour of the Tiny House Village and a chance to express how vital it is that our government prioritizes funding and partnering with community-based solutions like this one in order to truly make systemic houselessness an issue of the past.

Dear friends,

Thank you all so very much for your kind words and for the generous gift presented to me for Pastors’ Appreciation Month this past Sunday. Since the moment I spoke with Search Committee chair, Norma Carolyn way back at the start of this year, I could feel the Spirit moving among us and I am so incredibly glad that God has brought our paths together in ministry and life. It is an honor to be your pastor and friend on the journey.

Thank you again!

With love and gratitude,

Pastor Doug
