Pizza and Games is a longer coffee time after service on November 8, from 11am-1pm.  Join us for brunch or volunteer at an activity station to help our children have fun.  Most stations just need an adult to sit and explain instructions.  The more the merrier! There will also be Pizza & Games on Sunday Dec 13!

He hopes to have at least one name for us to consider by the second week of November. Please keep the call committee and all pastoral candidates in your prayers!"

Thanksgiving and Christmas Grocery Gift Cards for those  experiencing food insecurity. The Salvation Army will supply us with a list of people in need of assistance.

We will once again be inviting those receiving gift cards to a reception here at Central.

Donations are needed to make this annual ministry a success.

Donations can be made using the offering envelopes in the pews (be sure to mark "Mission of the Month")

or online, by CLICKING HERE or using the "Give Online Now" button on the "Give" page of our website. Make sure to designate your donation to "Mission of the Month" on the "To:"  drop down menu.

The homeless, under-resourced, or just plain hungry are all welcome! Anyone in need can get a meal at Central Lutheran Church each Sunday night. Sunday Suppers are at 5:00 pm. These meals are provided by volunteers from  different congregations representing a variety of denominations in Snohomish County.

You are invited to serve in this vital ministry. Volunteers can arrive at 4:30 to help with set up and the meal will be served at 5:00. We stop serving meals at 6:00 and usually can be cleaned up and done by 6:30.   As the saying goes, many hands make light work. 

Thank you as always for your support in time, food, and prayers.

Central's LCN therapist, Marcia Bates, will be co-leading a Hold Me Tight couples workshop November 14-15, 2026, at the Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo.

The workshop is an educational version of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, the method Marcia and her colleague both use in their work. The workshop walks couples through seven important conversations that are proven to get to the heart of patterns of distance or conflict and help couples build a closer bond.

This workshop is geared to couples' 1:1 work. There are no group activities. Each couple is seated at a private table, spaced for maximum privacy. Marcia and Kristin are available to provide 1:1 support throughout the weekend. 

For more information, see our website: www.northwestcouples.com. 

 For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. Ecc. 3:1

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be on sabbatical this summer/fall. When asked what I was focusing on during my sabbatical, my overall answer was, “less.” I wanted to be less busy, less frenetic, less torn between competing responsibilities. I wanted rest, renewal, and re-connection. I wanted to return following sabbatical with a new understanding of how to be in the office of bishop and also be healthy and whole. Unfortunately, while my weeks away were filled with many things, what I was hoping for did not materialize. Let me explain.

The quilters here at Central Lutheran Church make quilts for people around the world, through Lutheran World Relief.  Click below for more information on how you can help.  

There were 75 quilts blessed on Sunday, November 1!  Thank you to all of the quilting group for sharing your talents to spread love and warmth across the world! 

Happy Birthday!
