Holden Village Fall Work Week PDF Print

Holden_Village_1Join other hard workers from Wooden Cross October 23-30, 2011 to prepare Holden Village for the winter months.  The scenery from the Village in the fall is gorgeous, and it will be a week of fun, fellowship, learning and worship, as well as work. 

 

This year-round family retreat center of the Lutheran churches in the North Cascades above Lake Chelan will be in need of a team of volunteers to prepare the Village for the deep snow that makes the winter months there so beautiful. 

 

The only cost to volunteer workers is the expense of transportation, including fare for the “Lady of the Lake,” the ferry that delivers folks from Field’s Point Landing to the Lucern drop-off where the buses from the Village take passengers to Holden.  To learn more about Holden and all it offers visit www.holdenvillage.org. 
 
Luther's Table PDF Print

Join a fun-loving group from Wooden Cross at Luther’s Table for dinner on Saturday, November 5. 

 

Located at 419 S. 2nd St. Suite 1, Renton in a Renaissance-style restaurant, this is a new ministry of the ELCA, and it looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before.  A coffee shop/bakery by day, and a music venue/pub by night, you won’t find any pews here.  And that’s a big part of the idea – creating community among those for whom church is a challenge, an offense, or just not up their alley. 

 

This is an experiment of grace to see how far it can really go.  One of the core tenets of the Christian church is to share Christ’s meal together, to eat and drink together.  Luther’s Table is built around the idea that community, trust, conversation, and faith are found around the dinner table.  This group is trying to bring Christ’s meal outside of the walls of the church, and serve it up with generosity where the people already are: downtown, at the local watering hole.
