Poverty 101 workshop at Maplewood Presbyterian

Dear partners in ministry,

I would like to invite you and members of your congregation to participate in a Poverty 101 workshop, hosted at Maplewood Presbyterian Church and led by Everett Gospel Mission, on Saturday, November 4th.  We are glad to be hosting this in person!  The need to understand the sources of poverty and homelessness are as important as ever, along with equipping our congregations to provide the right kind of help.  This workshop will provide both.  

If this is of interest to you and to folks in your congregation, would you be willing to advertise it in your communications?  People can register online using the following link: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/everett-gospel-mission-16282977523

The workshop begins at 9:00a.m. and ends by 3:00p.m.  A continental breakfast and lunch will be served.  There is no cost for the workshop.  There will be an outdoor learning activity, so if it's raining, folks will want to wear a rain jacket or bring an umbrella.

If you have any questions, contact Dan'l Markham at Everett Gospel Mission (dmarkham@egmission.org) or call Maplewood Presbyterian Church (425-778-5248).  

Please feel free to pass this along to others you think would benefit from this workshop.  

God's grace and peace,

Hallack Greider

Renewal Ministries Northwest: Sabbath Rest – Time to Reset Prayer Retreat

Long ago, God called the Jewish people to keep the sabbath holy. This ancient practice couldn’t be more relevant for us now!! God knows our need for rest. So, God gave us the gift of Sabbath – the pinnacle of our week!

Community is a big part of it! We need to walk this out together.

Come to this retreat and we’ll share some of our own journey into Sabbath with you. We’ll learn what Scripture teaches and draw from the wisdom of the Jewish tradition. Come, listen, learn, and reset!

Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett speaking - A Bold Vision: How Christians Are Fighting Racism and Poverty

Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett speaking - A Bold Vision: How Christians Are Fighting Racism and Poverty

Newport Presbyterian Church enthusiastically invites members and friends to join in welcoming their 2023 Meekhof lecturer: 
 

Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett,
Executive Director of the Presbyterian Mission Agency
.
Her challenging topic is: 
"A Bold Vision: How Christians Are Fighting Racism and Poverty."


Dr. Moffett is leading the national Presbyterian church's bold initiative inspired by Jesus's words in Matthew 25: "Just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me." The PC(USA)'s initiative focuses on three areas: 1) Building congregational vitality; 2) Dismantling structural racism; and 3) Eradicating systemic poverty. But what can one church - our church, any church - do to dismantle racism and eradicate poverty? 

Dr. Moffett will speak on Saturday, February 4, at 10:00 a.m., in the sanctuary of Newport Presbyterian Church, followed by a luncheon at 11:30 a.m. This event is free and open to the public, and we encourage guests and members of other churches to join with us. Dr. Moffett will also preach on Sunday, February 5 at our 10 a.m. worship service.  Visiting us from PC(USA) headquarters in Louisville, KY, she will also meet on Friday, February 3, from 3 to 6 p.m., for table talks with representatives of various Presbyterian churches in our area that are committed to the  Matthew 25 initiative and can mutually provide some insights and inspiration.

Please register for these events using this link.  Registration is not required, but it helps us to plan.

Collide at Christmas: A Gala for Good

We extend an invitation from our mission partner, Collide.

We are thrilled to invite you to our 7th annual Collide at Christmas: A Gala for Good on Friday, Dec. 9th from 7-10 pm at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal. This year’s Gala will include not only our not-to-be-missed TWO-week online auction so friends and family near and far can bid, but also an incredible in-person party! Join us for a fun and festive evening where we will celebrate the season, while also supporting the work of Collide!

Make an impact with us!

Our programs and services create spaces for women to collide with Jesus where they can address their brokenness, encounter healing, connect with their calling, and change the world. We do that through our conferences, classes (both online and in-person), retreats and workshops, our Wholeness and Counseling Program, Bible study books and groups, leadership development, and online content through our blog, podcast, and other free online digital resources. The gala helps us ensure that the women who come to us are able to get the help they need. You can be a part of impacting lives with us when you support the Gala.

We hope that you can be a part of our Gala for Good whether that’s bidding in the auction or coming to the in-person event or BOTH.
