Dear Fellow Travelers,
We have been busy this summer! We had two church workdays, an active men’s group, an ordination, and new hymnals!
 
We also partnered with Edmonds Toy Store (part of the Edmonds Food Bank) for doing bicycle distributions in the coming year. Things are really happening at the church!
 
As we go into Fall, we will restart the Bible Study about the Sermon on the Mount using Amy-Jill Levine’s “Toward the Kingdom of Heaven.” Please join us after Sunday Worship in-person or Tuesdays at 10AM for Zoom Bible Study.
 
For those of you who would like to become members and those who are membership curious, I will do two sessions in October and November, so we can welcome new members in Advent.
 
I am very active on social media nowadays. Please follow me on Facebook (@EdmondsPres), Instagram (@EdmondsPresbyterianChurch), or TikTok (@realbiblerob). Look on our website www.epc-pcusa.org for links. You will soon see a new logo and updated website pages as well.
 
We continue to offer an alternative worship option via email and YouTube. Please contact the office to get on the email list.
 
Here’s the plan for worship services in September:
September 4, “No Longer As A Slave” Paul’s letter to Philemon shows tremendous grace and mercy, but it is also troubling for us today. I explore how this letter opens our eyes to the tremendous progress that we have made in our church and our society.

September 11, We will worship at Elder Nancy B's house followed by a BBQ social. This will be a special treat! I will preach “Starting Life Over” about redemption and how the small and large turning points in our lives are what being a Christian is all about.

September 18, Rev. Kimberly Crispeno will be back to lead worship with an inspiring message.

September 25, Rev. Charity Sandstrom will be back to lead worship as well. 
 
Carol and I will have our first official vacation traveling around Wisconsin and Michigan. We will tell you all about the fall colors and Great Lakes when we return in October!
 
I am so excited about all of the great things happening with the church and I look forward to serving with you as we start the new school year!
 
With the Peace of our God,
Pastor Rob

Women’s Association will meet again on September 14 at 11:30 am at the church Friendship Hall.  Luncheon will be provided by the Jean G and Ruth R. Jan Griffith, our missionary in Sweden, has agreed to join our meeting via zoom to tell of her recent activities. 

Mission contributions were collected at our June meeting and we will hear where the funds collected are being dispersed.  Treasurer Kathy M reports that we have $1,578.77 in the bank, not counting recent contributions.  Thank you all for your generous contributions to our  missions.  Prayer partners will be revealed and new prayer partners will be selected.  It is also time to elect new officers for the year.

We all mourn the passing of Kathryn G at the age of 101 but are extremely grateful for her participation and guidance through all the years.  She has enriched all our lives by her presence among us.  A  memorial service will be held at the church in her honor on October 9.
​
We are looking forward to seeing everyone, and please invite a friend to come with you.

Allotments are made and checks are being written to 9 mission recipients with a total of $2,300 being spent. 
World Concern writes:  Thank you for transforming lives in the world’s poorest places with gifts of clean water, food, income, education, and the love of Christ.  Your prayers and generosity to World Concern, a member of the CHRISTA family of ministries, makes a huge impact on the lives of children and families.
Thank you for your generosity and prayers that make a  life-changing difference for women like Lekilelei, an elderly widow who lives in Matakwani Village in Kenya.  Lekilelei  and the other women in her village used to get water from a nearby water pan which was not protected from animals.  The elephants nearby used this same water and, as you can imagine, the water was filthy and filled with disease.  But Lekilelei and the other women had no alternative, so they used this water for their families to drink and cook and clean.
Thanks to you and mission contributions we were able to construct a concrete tank and the women now have clean water! Their families no longer have diarrhea and water-borne diseases, and they are so happy.
You changed the lives of Lekilelei and so many other women and families in our world because you gave to World Concern, and your gifts did much more than provide clean water...it opened their hearts to hear the Gospel and learn about the God who loves them. 
In just the first 6 months of 2021 over 10,000 people were engaged in spiritual development.  The impact of that is eternal.  God Bless You (from Jacinta Tegman, CEO, CHRISTA Ministries)
Margaret S, Mission Elder
