Rally Day  marks the beginning of the new Sunday School year!  This also brings a schedule change to the Sunday services.  8:30am First Service, 9:45am Sunday School for all ages, 11:00am Second Service. We kick off the fall schedule with a church family picnic and softball at Church Creek Park in Stanwood after the Second Service on September 12th.  Plan for things to get underway around 1pm.  Bring a dish to pass for the potluck meal.  Paperware and beverages are provided.  Bring softball or other sports equipment you'd like to use.  Often there is softball, volleyball, basketball and other random games that are played in addition to an extensive playground area for kids and woods with trails to explore.  Invite a friend or another family for the day!

For years, Vancouver, BC has hosted a Missions Fest that has drawn crowds of over 20,000 for the weekend.  Just a few years ago, a commitee was formed to host a Missions Fest Seattle!  Much prayer, planning and time has gone into each of these first few years events.  This is a great opportunity for us to join in and participate in this powerful Mission-centered event. 

Missions Fest Seattle is a Friday evening and Saturday made up of large group sessions and small workshop opportunities.  The topics, geographical locations, mission issues, generational timeframes cover the entire spectrum of what God is doing all around the world!

Speakers, ministries and missionaries from all over the world come together and invest much in this brief event.  It is important for us to join in as well in what is God's heart for a broken and lost world!  Plan now to participate in this year's Missions Fest Seattle, the first weekend of October!
