August 1, 2010 Even This? Summer Sermon Series - Honest To God - Discovering ways to talk with God through the Psalms August 20-22, 2010 Summer Getaway A fun time for kids, adults alike Friday, July 30 The Opiate Mass CD Release A new cd from The Opiate Mass Community Groups at Union are mid-sized groups (10-20 people) who meet regularly to give, learn, get away, serve and grow. They meet to live out Union's three- fold vision (hence the nickname 'C3' groups) of becoming Externally Focused, Internally Alive, and Eternally Connected. C3 groups meet on the 4th weekend of every month off-site (NOT at the 415 Westlake)- this is our worship on this 4th weekend. Some months these groups may meet in a home for Bible study and prayer or gather at another location for a service project or a special event. Participants care for one another as they serve, pray, learn and work alongside each other. Don’t click with one group? No problem -- float until you find a good fit! For a list of groups click here. Contact Jera with any questions you might have.. We think worship is something other than four songs and a long sermon. It is our life lived in response to God’s love and passion for justice and reconciliation. Worship expands our imagination to more fully take in the reality of God. That happens not only with music, prayer and scripture but also through loving and serving others in partnership with the Holy Spirit. That is why every Sunday is not the same at Union. We are in rhythm that reinforces a broad experience of worship. So, on the fourth Sunday of each month we worship through action. We serve together in open community groups helping a neighbor, working through different social agencies in Seattle, caring for the environment or meeting together for a meal or an activity to know one another better. Click here to see what Community Groups are doing this month. And the other Sundays of the month? On the first, third and fifth (if there is one) Sundays we gather to meet God in music, prayer, Scripture and communion. On second Sundays in addition to music and prayer space is given to connect with others and interactively engage what Scripture says.
