CERTAINTY in the Uncertain // A one day women’s retreat hosted by Communion Church, Roots Church, Anchored Faith and Legacy Church.

We will be joining with the women from Roots, Anchored Faith and Legacy Church for a 3Strand North Women’s Day Retreat — Certainty in the Uncertain — on Saturday April 25 from 9a to 5p with check-in beginning at 8:30a — so that we can share in a time to greet one another, then get started promptly at 9a.

Cost is $20. Snacks, coffee, tea and lunch will be provided with lunch provided at 12:30p. Lap infants and high-school-age daughters are welcome. Sign-ups closed April 20.

During our time together, we will consider the unwavering confidence, peace and security we can be assured of in Christ Jesus and how we can live this out, keeping our eyes on Jesus in the midst of the uncertainty we so often find ourselves in.

The hope for the day is to bolster our confidence to declare ‘Jesus is MINE,’ give practical tools and encouragement to continue growing in spiritual disciplines that deepen certainty, to delight in worship together expressing gratitude for all Christ has done, and joyfully come together as a network of churches in fellowship and friendship. We’ll enjoy teaching sessions as a large group, then break out into smaller groups to dive deeper into conversations about our teaching time.

DATE — Saturday May 2
TIME — 9a

Bring a breakfast side dish to share — a family-sized dish of eggs, meat, or fruit is great! Pastries and OJ welcome too. Buck will be flippin’ flapjacks for breakfast. Join us!

The 3Strand Network recognizes the profound need to reach families and individuals affected by disability. We are bringing together the local church to prayerfully consider how they can love and serve people with disabilities in their communities — those who are often overlooked.

3Strand is offering a disability training on Saturday May 23 from 9a-3p at The Bridge Church in Snohomish. We are partnering with Joni & Friends, Hope Counseling and Guidelight. This is a free event. Lunch provided, so please register so we can plan accordingly. Find more details and register via link below, or contact Pastor Jim with any questions.

DATE — Sunday May 24
TIME — after 2nd service (about 12:30p)

Join us after second service for a Sunday brunch meal. Choose your favorite breakfast/brunch item and bring it to share.

POTLUCK TIPS & HELPS
In order for us all to have enough to share, plan the size of your dish to be at least the size of what might feed your family. This may mean you could sign up to bring more than one thing.

We always need set-up and clean-up helpers — any and all help is welcome! Just show up.

And of course, allergies — so many varied ones in our church family, so labels are always appreciated! Our one main allergy ask is no peanuts please.

DATE/TIME — Wednesday May 27 at 7-8:30p

Please join us to celebrate Petra Lasc, Gianna Vander Lei and Siri Picini and their new babies. We will be having a salad potluck lunch after the second service Sunday, May 31 at 12:30p. This is a great opportunity to fellowship with the women of Communion and support these families, whether you’ve gotten a chance to meet them yet or not. Gifts aren’t a must, but wipes and diapers are very appreciated for all families. Sign up to bring part of the potluck lunch, and join us!
