I’m with the DJ | November 9th

Dear Wonderful Church Family,

I hope this note finds you and your loved ones in good health and spirits. Within these lines, you'll discover several important updates and opportunities for engagement. Learn how to support families in need at Meredith Hill Elementary, our partner school. Additionally, there's news about Riverton Park United Methodist Church's involvement with over 300 asylum-seeking migrants.

If you haven't yet had a chance to complete our annual Community Engagement Survey, please consider dedicating 5-10 minutes to it. Your feedback is invaluable, helping us better understand and serve our faith community.

Don’t forget that our next Abundant Grace community event is coming up November 18th. More info below.

This weekend marks the conclusion of our sacramental series, with Caleb Encinas Cortes offering his insights on the Sacrament of Baptism. I invite you to join us.


Community Engagement Survey

We would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to fill our yearly Community Engagement Survey. This is a chance for us to listen and learn from you. In the survey, we will ask about sermons and topics that you would like to learn more about, how you get information from our church and more. Click here to fill out our quick survey.

Below is a note that was embedded in a digitize newsletter from the Greater Northwest United Methodist Conference regarding our sibling church Riverton Park UMC.

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

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.
