Dear Church Family and Friends,

This weekend, we joyfully continue our worship series, “Draw Near.” We're deeply grateful to our partners at Sanctified Arts for their invaluable contributions to this series.

Our focus for this session will be on the Gospel of Luke, specifically chapter 3. To enrich your understanding and experience of the text, I encourage you to read the first three chapters of Luke. This preparatory reading will provide a broader and more insightful context for our discussions.

For those who haven't yet obtained a daily devotional booklet for this series, please feel free to reach out to our church office at office@fwumc.org, or simply visit us at church. We'll be more than happy to provide you with a copy.

Wishing you grace and peace,

Pastor DJ

Grace and Peace,

FOX 13: Urgent need for resources as more than 300 migrants seek asylum at Tukwila church

It’s been nearly one month since City of Tukwila proclaimed a state of emergency to address the surge in people. However, help from state and federal government has been slow.

Still, Riverton Park United Methodist Church is doing all it can to offer some help for over 300 asylum seekers seeking aid at the church.

Watch more of this update on the FOX 13 website.
