Live Project Retreat: Embracing Difference
9am-3pm Saturday, February 8 at Our Savior's Lutheran Church.
We are daily called to navigate racial, political, and social differences. Engaging with difference means recognizing the inner tension it can create, managing our emotional and reactive responses, and approaching situations from a calmer, more centered place. This retreat is a practical workshop that will help us learn to listen to others, to ourselves, and to connect across difference and diversity.
Fred Oduyoye is the founder of Reachable Reconciliation Ministry. Reachable Reconciliation is dedicated to building cultural bridges and reconciliation in families, churches, schools, corporations and communities.

Woven Into God's Story
The Northwest Washington Synod Assembly is just around the corner - and we need the help of the synod's crafty creatives! The theme for our upcoming TWO-day, in-person synod assembly (Friday & Saturday, May 16 & 17) is “Woven Into God's Story." With a theme like this, the décor practically plans itself!
Calling all quilters, knitters, crocheters, weavers, and macramé artists:
We need 50 table runners (approx. 12” x 72-120”) to decorate the tables at our upcoming Synod Assembly. We know we have talent all over the synod, will you share that with us? The table runners can be any combination of colors (great use of scrap fabric and yarn).
Please contact Kathy Fisher (kathy@salc.church) if you/your congregation can supply a few runners. Let Kathy know how many you are willing to create! There will be special recognition for our artists at the event. We need to have them in hand by May 1st. (Discuss with Kathy if you would like to pick them up at the end of the assembly - or donate them for additional uses in the synod.)
