Pizza and Games is a longer coffee time after service on October 11th, 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 Sundays Nov 8 and Dec 13! 

On Sunday, October 18, Pastor Dave Parks will conduct a Blessing of the Pets during the worship service.  Please bring well-behaved canines, caged animals, a picture of your pet, or a stuffed animal to be blessed.

The call committee is still working diligently to find the person God is calling to lead our congregation. We are currently awaiting a new slate of candidates from the Synod office and hopefully will be doing more interviews later in the month.

Two of our committee members have resigned due to other commitments.  Megan Semore and Harold Villalba Rueda have been appointed to join Nancy Olsen, Carol Krause, Peter Lee, and Barbara Lichneckert in the search for our next pastor. Michael Barrett and Peter VanderWeyst will be alternates.

Please keep us in your prayers, along with all those who are currently searching for a call. We appreciate your support!

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.

“See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”  Isaiah 43:19

God IS up to something – what is it? 

How do we perceive, recognize, notice whatever “it” is – and then respond

Happy Birthday!
