Rev Dr. Furrer shares the particulars of his personal mediation practice, walking the length and contours of his watershed, in this case Madsen Creek. As water rolls off Steve and Carol's roof, it follows a gravity-drawn course from their yard to the Cedar River and thence to the Sound. Notes on Henry David Thoreau, Wendell Barry, Annie Dillard, and the spirituality of place: this place.
Rev Steve contemplates Memorial Day by way of considering the nature and reliability of our memories.
And annual celebration from the earliest days of ESUC Sunday Services. Bring a flower to contribute to our thrown-together floral centerpiece—and take another contribution home. This will be Rev. Furrer’s last service leading services after forty-eight months as guardian and shepherd of the worship practices here at ESUC. Notes of appreciation and hope for our congregation’s future as a Beloved Community.
June 12 is East Shore's annual Pride Day service. We will be featuring several musical guests as well as the East Shore Mighty Choir, who will be presenting a world premiere! This service is fun, informative, moving, and family friendly. Come celebrate with us, dressed in whatever rainbow suits you best!
It’s that time of year when the kids and youth in our education programs leap, lead and bridge into their next spiritual journey and welcome transition in an intentional way. Through music, art, and reflection, let us open to the holy curiosity of our community. Join us for a sweet and special day! This morning we also "Share the Plate" with Congregations for Kids Good Start Back to School, who provide supplies to school age kids throughout the Bellevue School District. Monetary donations and in-kind donations of Sturdy Backpacks are requested, so please join is in your support and shop for Backpacks without slings or wheels; padded backs for 4th through high school; large size for middle and high school, with laptop compartments; solid colors (no red) for HS.
