    Mattie’s Mite

  • Mission Unstoppable: Stewardship

    Mission Unstoppable: Stewardship

    Unstoppable is the word that comes to mind when you look at the early days of the church. Conflict and controversy threatened to take down the young group but, instead of destroying it, the challenges fueled the fire that spread across the first-century landscape.  And now, in these challenging times, we are reminded of our mission through the following stories from Lake Union department leaders what…

    During the course of one’s career, there are usually highlights that stand out in your mind where you feel that what you did, or were a part of, really made a difference.
