Snake River to Salish Sea Spirit of the Waters Totem Pole Journey, May 19 at UW, 6-8 pm. Communities of faith in Seattle have been especially invited to be part of this event in support of the Indigenous-led movement to honor the spirit of a free-flowing Lower Snake River and restore the health of salmon and orca. The 2022 totem pole journey aims to inspire, inform, and engage Pacific Northwest communities through intergenerational voices, ceremony, art and science, spirituality, ancestral knowledge, and cross-cultural collaboration. Focused on honoring the ancient covenant with nature, the spirit of the Snake River, and the Indigenous–led Snake River campaign through ancestral knowledge and ceremonial activities, the 2022 journey builds upon, strengthens and reaffirms the growing Indigenous-led environmental movement across the Pacific Northwest. Register here.

INVITATION TO HELP REIMAGINE OUR CHURCH SPACE: Sunday, May 22^nd, 12:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary

BREAKING NEWS from the Campus Redevelopment Ministry Team (CRMT). Things are moving forward very quickly. Last week Community Roots Housing (CRH) announced it has hired Walsh Construction to be their general contractor, and SMR Architects to be their architect for the campus redevelopment project. Between now and September when CRH will apply for public funding, the team will develop architectural drawings to a sixty-percent design level. Translated, this means the basic layout of the buildings (the ‘shell’), including the housing, our potential church, the plaza and other design elements.

This is a prelude to say, PLEASE ATTEND OUR FIRST MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT/ARCHITECTURAL TEAM ON SUNDAY, MAY 22^ND. This will be a unique opportunity to meet, in person, with the lead architect, the general contractor, the project manager, and others from CRH. Since the design work conducted over the next several months will be hugely consequential to the final product, it is CRITICAL that we take this opportunity to provide input that will help determine the architectural direction of the project.
