Bethany, Steadfast Love groups combine for work party

Good Monday morning to you, and welcome to the Bainbridge Community Foundation. Thanks for choosing Bethany for your meeting.

The rain held off this past Saturday as a large group of us tended to the more than 8 acres of the Bethany campus to make things look nice for Easter.  Members of Bethany joined members of the Church of Steadfast Love of Seattle as we picked up fallen tree limbs and hoisted them onto three pickup trucks. We also tackled stubborn blackberry vines and Scotch broom. The Church of Steadfast Love is part of the Compass Center in Seattle, which serves the homeless. Pastor Kristy Daniels leads the congregation. Here are some images.

Saturday: Work, fervent worship and spaghetti

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that we get together with our friends from the Church of Steadfast Love this coming Saturday, April 6, for a wonderful spaghetti dinner, worship and a work party.

It all starts at 2:30 p.m. with a work party to cut up branches that fell during the recent storms, and perhaps dig up a little Scotch broom, etc. Bring your gloves and tools. Thanks, everyone, for signing up for the cleanup, which we hope you didn't confuse with cleaning up the dinner dishes.

Pastor Kristy Daniels of the Church of Steadfast Love will preach at our worship service at 5 p.m. Don't worry about your work clothes.

Then at 6 p.m., we will enjoy a well-deserved spaghetti dinner with our visitors, along with a special dessert made by Gail Christensen.

There will also be envelopes available for the people of Bethany to make financial contributions to the Church of Steadfast Love, in support of this ministry, and to celebrate our partnership.

This promises to be a memorable afternoon. We hope you can come. Contact the office if you want to take part in the dinner or work party and you're not signed up. The phone here is 206-842-4241 and the email is . The Church of Steadfast Love is part of the Compass Center in Seattle, which cares for the homeless.
