Pool Party at Meadowbrook Pool Sunday, May 20th 5:00pm

All are invited to a Wedgwood Presbyterian get-together at Meadowbrook Pool, 10515 35^th Ave NE.  We’ll swim and play in the indoor pool for an hour and have a meal.  Bring a dish to share and we’ll have hot dogs on the grill.  Even if you don’t plan to high-dive, it would be great for you to come and have fellowship with us.  I’ve invited the Vacation Bible School, Operation Overboard attendees and their families to this event.  Come say hi and invite your friends and neighbors.  Children should come with adult supervision.  This event is free thanks to a generous gift from Dick Lone’s estate.

Service for Regina

From Regina's Family:
Dear friends, Our mother's memorial service will be on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 5pm at Wedgwood Presbyterian Church in Seattle (8008 35th Ave NE). Please feel more than welcome to join us as we remember such a beautiful, courageous, intelligent and loving woman. And know that even if the distances prove to great, we know that you will very much be with us spirit. Your love and support during this time have been invaluable, and such a source of strength for us all. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to mom's beloved alma mater, Macalester College.

Maundy Thursday Supper/Service and Easter Brunch

Stone Soup Supper for Maundy Thursday- 6pm Thursday April 5: Do you remember the folktale about Stone Soup? No one person had enough food to make a meal, but when each person brought one small item for the pot, the village was able to make a wonderful soup for all to share.  We ask everyone, if you are able, to bring a can of soup to the church kitchen before 4pm on April 5. Soups can be either vegetable or meat-based. Your church chefs will put the soups together with good basic broth, add some bread and fruit, and we will have a simple but hearty meal for Maundy Thursday Dinner. Our Communion that evening will be held around the supper table, so please plan to join us for the meal before our Maundy Thursday Tenebrae service.

Easter Brunch: Please join us for a delicious brunch of baked goods, egg dishes and fruit following the Easter worship service.  It’s not a potluck, but we do welcome contributions of your favorite brunch dish (if you’d like to contribute, let Anne Hay know- phone 206-484-3036 or a.hay@comcast.net).
