SUMMARY:Climate Justice and the Right to Food
DESCRIPTION:The impact of climate change on poor rural households is already staggeringly high. What to do? One approach is to tackle the issue in terms of the “Right to Food.” Other approaches include innovative strategies the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has developed in the context of disaster recovery and climate risk reduction. \nAll are invited to a Climate Justice related Lunch & Learn after worship on UMCOR Sunday\, March 15th\, hosted by the Climate Justice Working Group at Seattle First. Dan Gustafson\, a member who is the former Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations will present. \nA Zoom option is available for people and congregations that would like to attend but can’t make it in person due to the distance. Parking in Seattle First’s garage is also free for attending the event. \nThose who plan to attend are invited to register here ahead of time so that Seattle First knows how much food to prepare. If you register to attend via Zoom\, the link will be sent upon registration.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Women in Ministry Retreat 2026
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE – On behalf of the Women in Ministry Retreat Planning Team\, we wanted to share that due to scheduling challenges and low registration we have made the decision to postpone this year’s gathering to Spring of 2027. We hope to have more information about the 2027 gathering later in the fall this year.  \nJoin us for a time of rest\, renewal and connection as we set aside time to dwell in the Holy Week experience for ourselves. This is a time to step back from the business of the season and engage with the elements we would normally plan and lead. \nThis year\, the Women in Ministry retreat will be held this year at Lazy F Camp & Retreat Center on March 26-28\, 2026\, with the theme “A Holy Week for all of us.” All who identify as women in ministry are invited\, including candidates for ministry. \nIn addition to sessions\, participants will be invited to care for themselves throughout the retreat. The retreat agenda will include plenty of free time to explore the camp and surrounding area\, reconnect with each other\, and share resources. Cost covers meals and accommodations at $150 per person\, multi-occupancy. For more information\, click here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Table Turning - Unite to Free Them All
DESCRIPTION:Valley & Mountain Fellowship UMC are preparing for their annual Holy Week Table Turning tradition and they are calling on people of faith all across the city and county to join them for a People of Faith & Conscience to Unite in One Voice to Free Them All. \n“We have all seen the abuses of Immigration Customs Enforcement in Chicago\, Minneapolis and here at home. Immigrant siblings are being detained without legal process. Children are being caged all across our land. This is the moment that people of faith can stand together to demand the release of our people and to defend immigrant families from being torn apart. \nOn April 4th\, 4-6PM join us outside the Northwest Detention Center for a gathering of people of faith in partnership with many community groups working to free them all. Gather your people\, make your signs and be prepared to use your voice for change.” \nIf you have any questions about this event please contact Rev. Dr. DeAnza Spaulding Sekou at deanza@valleyandmountain.org.
