Happy New Year and Blessed Epiphany! The tradition of blessing our homes is one that dates back centuries and is a ritual that I believe has become even more poignant as many of us have spent a significant portion of our time in our homes over the past two years. Our homes are not only our shelter, safety from the elements and storage, they are places of our most significant and deepest relationships. Our homes are sacred spaces, not only for us individually, but for all who enter our doors and I know that I need to be reminded of that fact.
Blessing our homes, inviting Christ to journey with us in the mundane and important moments of our lives, reminds us that there is not a place or time that isn’t sacred and holy; there is not a separation from God’s presence. You can access an Epiphany Blessing for your home here.
See you Sunday for Baptism of Our Lord Sunday! Bring a picture from your baptism if you have one, or a treasured keepsake from that day.
Pastor Brigette

Mill Creek Elementary Pantry
Mill Creek Elementary supports a diverse, multi-ethnic population of 350 students (35% Latinx, 30% white, 35% other ethnicity) speaking 24 different languages and dialects. 60% of the students are on free or reduced lunch and the pantry at Mill Creek Elementary feeds 40-50 families each week.
Due to state budget constraints, Mill Creek Elementary does not receive any subsidized funding for assistance feeding the children. Their pantry serves about 25 families per week, with an average of 3 children per family.
Mary Bowman and Marion Lennberg returned from Mill Creek this week and had a list of items that the pantry currently needs:
- Toothpaste/toothbrushes
- Toilet paper/paper towels
- Diapers/ baby products
- Hand soap, body soap
- Dish soap
- Oil
- Sugar, flour
- Honey
- Soup, canned meat assortment
- Holiday fixings
- Sauces/condiments
- Snacks
- Dry rice/beans
Thank you for your care and generosity! There will be additional opportunities to volunteer at the school as well once we can be in person. For more information contact Pastor Brigette ([email protected]).
