Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world.
Holy Spirit Living
Pentecost Sunday
The only way we can be witnesses in our world is when we have
received power as the Holy Spirit comes upon us!
Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit…
Acts 1:8
“… you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,
and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth.”
Prophecy was fulfilled on that day of Pentecost.
God’s promise of the Holy Spirit is for all people who submit their
lives to Him.
Acts 2:21, 39
And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
This promise is for you, your children, and for all who are
far away—as many as the Lord our God invites. ”
The Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23
2. … love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control.
As we celebrate what happened on that day of Pentecost some 2000
years ago… May we realize that the Holy Spirit continues to enable us
to do the work of Jesus right here today…
Sharing the transforming love of Jesus Christ . . . across the street and
around the world.

A Dramatic Presentation of the life of
Dr. Margaret Brand
On May 21, Bible Study Outreach is hosting a brunch featuring Susie
Tucker of Faith Heroines Alive, who will present one of her one woman
shows.
At the brunch Susie will bring alive the story of
Margaret Brand.
Dr. Margaret Brand went with her husband Dr.
Paul Brand to Vellore, India as medical
missionaries in the late 1940’s. Both Paul and
Margaret pioneered treatments for patients
suffering from leprosy, Paul in the field of
orthopedics and Margaret specializing in the eye
diseases related to leprosy.
They did all this while raising an adventurous
group of six children, and they remained
humble about their accomplishments, giving the
credit to God for all that occurred. Margaret and Paul finished their
careers in Carville, Louisiana and retired to Seattle in the 1980’s. Paul
went to be with the Lord in 2003. Margaret lives in Covenant Shores
retirement complex on Mercer Island. She is excited that her story is
6. being presented to groups today.
If you would like to come, RSVP, as seating is limited. If childcare is
needed, please also let them know the number and ages of children
coming. RSVP to Heather Kreeck, 425-806-6945.

Outdoor Adventures
All Outdoor Adventure trips are open to family and friends. A great
opportunity to invite non-Christians to a non-threatening church
sponsored event!
Dungeness Spit Kayaking-Hiking-Camping Trip - Friday-Sunday, June
14-16th,
We camp at Dungeness Recreation area near Sequim, Washington on
Friday and Saturday nights (we have some camping equipment for
newbies). On Saturday, half our group kayaks to the lighthouse at the
end of the spit while the other half hikes out (about 5 miles). Then we
switch off and the other half kayaks back while the kayakers hike back -
a full body work out in a beautiful location. Sunday we break
camp and have an outdoor worship service overlooking the Strait of Juan
de Fuca.
Afterwards for those interested, we will go see the animals at the
Olympic Game Farm. Warning, this is no zoo. You really get up close and
personal with buffaloes and other impressive animals (like Grizzly
Bears!). Then it’s back home on the ferry.
Cost: $20 per person (includes 2 nights camping and use of the kayaks),
plus ferry fees. Olympic game farm charges $11 per adult. This is a very
popular trip so sign up soon in the narthex. Unfortunately because of the
cost involved, we are asking people to put down a $10 deposit to reserve
your spot.
8. If you have questions on any of these events, please contact Bob or
Sandy Clemence at 425-486-0762.
Your generosity and community spirit allow us to provide fresh food
(milk, eggs, meat) in addition to canned goods. We are also thankful for
the generous donation of bread from Panera and Franz. An extra item or
two each shopping trip is all it takes to fill up your "cool green bag" for
pick-up every other month.
We also need monetary support, team support and Food Drive support.
