As a part of the Labor/Religious/Community Coalition, The Church Council invites your congregation to participate in Labor in the Pulpits 2008.  On the Labor in the Pulpits day, clergy may choose to preach on Scriptures with messages of worker and economic justice, civil rights or human services for those who are low-income.  This year's theme is Put People First:  Providing Resources for the Community.  For more information on how your congregation can participate, please click here.

The Church Council is hiring!  If you are interested in making a change for the better in our community, we hope you consider sharing your talents with us and becoming a part of our team.  Current open positions in our programs include Development Manager for Seattle Youth Garden Works, AmeriCorps positions with the Growing Roots Team (sponsored by SYGW), and Advocate positions for HomeStep.   For more information about our job opportunities, click here.

Christians are called to care for the common good and the well-being of our neighbors.  To answer this call, the church must be a public church - advocating for the well-being of all, especially "the least of these."  Several of our church bodies have developed comprehensive guides on how churches and people of faith can be engaged in the public arena.  The Religious Coalition for the Common Good (RCCG), which includes The Church Council, urges you to access one of the guides listed at the end of this bulletin to encourage voter education and participation in the upcoming election.  For the full bulletin, click here.
