​MISSION NEWS

The pre-school is now operating after a summer break.  Little voices are heard as the children enjoy their activities.  It is good to have the children, staff and parents here in the building.  The pre-school rent also benefits us.  Nine-tenths of the rent money goes to the building fund to help with expenses and one-tenth (a tithe) goes to mission.  Lahai Health, Lynnwood and  Renewal Ministries each received $195 from the first two month’s rent.  (Lahai Health also provides service in King County.)

LAHAI HEALTH, LYNNWOOD, provides medical treatment, dental work, and mental health counselling for low-income people. No one who comes to the clinic is left without help.  Doctors, nurses, dentists, and mental health counsellors volunteer their time because of their love for God and for their clients.

Lahai Health is a Christ-centered organization that seeks to treat the whole person, physically, mentally and spiritually.

RENEWAL MINISTRIES NORTHWEST has helped strengthen the faith of many Christians and helped them grow in their spiritual lives. Retreats are held throughout the year, emphasizing prayer and drawing closer to God.  They emphasize the teachings of Ignatius of Loyola, a 16th century Christian leader who taught that nothing is more life fulfilling and renewing than walking closely with Jesus Christ.  Their contact phone number is: 425- 361- 7953.  Their website is: http://renewalminnw.org.

WHITWORTH UNIVERSITY provides a well-rounded college education, including academics, community service, social activities, sports, and spiritual growth. Whitworth has received high rankings from various groups who rank western schools. Students get help in planning career choices to help them have successful careers after graduation.  Whitworth University received the $100 mission allocation for October.

CHRISTMAS FAMILY:  The Women’s Association voted to sponsor a family for Christmas again this year with the congregation’s help.  We asked for a mother and two children.  Our family will come from the Everett YWCA-Pathways Holiday giving program.

TOILETRIES FOR LOCAL GROUPS:  We decided to ask for travel-sized toiletries for local groups this year instead of white socks for Operation Nightwatch.  As we get older it is harder for people to drive to Seattle to deliver the socks.  Jim Nickle did deliver some socks that had not been delivered from previous donations.
​
CHRISTMAS JOY:  Our Christmas Joy gifts will be given in December.  Three readers will tell how people have been helped by past offerings.  Retired and present pastors, their families and other church workers receive help from 50% of the offering.  The other 50% supports students of color who attend Presbyterian-related schools.
