This year’s retreat theme is “meeting God in the messy middle.” At the retreat, Jeff and Margie will introduce us to Spiritual practices to empower Christian Professionals to be God’s people in the midst of the challenges and opportunities in today’s market place. Have you ever wondered, “How do we navigate as faithful followers of Jesus in the messy places in our lives? Particularly what do we do when our work seems to leave us with no good options? When should Christians compromise?” Intrigued? I hope you will consider attending. The location will be Bethany Presbyterian Church, Seattle. The cost is $35 until October 1, then $50. More information can be found at renewalminnw.org.
VERGE 2.0 On October 17, VERGE 2.0 converges 7 innovative ministry leaders to share their stories with you, ignite your imagination, and encourage your ministry. None of them did it alone. They all steward stories bigger than themselves about God partnering with ordinary people to write new chapters in His unfolding mission on earth. Inspired by the TED Conference, we're asking these innovators to give the presentation of their life in 18 minutes or less. As a VERGE 2.0 participant, you will also receive timely and practical learning resources throughout the following year so that you can continue to benefit from this new learning community. Everyone is invited! Join us Saturday, October 17, 9 am - 3 pm, at Community Church of Seattle in Bothell to behold the bold things God is doing! Are you on the church email lists? We have two: one for general announcements, and the other for prayer requests from our congregation as well as the community at large. Contact Pastor Amy or Ellen H to be added to these lists. Prayer is one of the ways we uniquely serve our community, and we’d love to have you add your prayers as we pray for those in need.

D. $40 (snacks & materials included) www.renewalminnw.org At this Prayer Retreat we will reflect on the meaning of Sabbath (Hebrews 4) and how we can create an oasis of sacred time to receive from God. Only God knows what we truly need. There will be extended time for silence and solitude. You will be given prayer exercises to guide you in your prayer with God. “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for those who enter God’s rest also rest from their own work, just as God did from his.” Hebrews 4:10 These last two months have seen the deaths of three beloved members & former members. Please continue to pray for the families and friends of Betty Jane B., Betty B., and Bob G. We ask for God’s comfort in their grief.
