St. Luke’s
Undercroft
This is below the original chapel in the brown frame building
Entrance is on the street (22nd Ave NW)
The steps that go down to the undercroft are on this side of the tower
DIRECTIONS:
From I-5 north after the 520 junction – going north
Take the first exit after the I-5 bridge going toward the U-District, i.e. 45th/50th exit.
Take the 50th street fork off the ramp (stay left)
Turn LEFT (west) onto North 50th at the traffic light at the end of the ramp
Follow North 50th (stay in the left lane because people park in the right lane) till just past the Zoo, to the light at Phinney Ave North, & turn LEFT (be careful, this is a blind curve for cars coming at you from the other direction – watch as you turn)
Go four blocks to the light at North 46th and turn RIGHT
Follow North 46th down the hill as it becomes NW Market St. – Market is the main street into Ballard.
Stay on Market until you see the Majestic Theater on your right, turn RIGHT at the next street. That street is 22nd Ave NW.
Go two blocks north of Market and St. Luke’s is on the right. You can’t miss it. It is right next to the Ballard Library, and across the street from the skateboard park. It is easy.

PARKING:
Parking is on the street. Be careful not to block any driveways (be a good neighbor), and come to the 22nd Ave NW side of the building. Find the stairs that go down to the undercroft, right next to the tower, and come in. Make sure you secure your vehicles / valuables, and stay conscious of the parking signs on the street - as one should in any urban setting.

We were very glad to join you guys for the beginning of this new venture:
The Creator, the God of Creation, God with us, Emmanuel; worshiping the Creator, not the creation, "Emmanuel" as a gathered community of God's creatures bearing the Imago Dei and incarnating the Kingdom of God here in the midst of this broken creation, and doing so as proclaimers of beauty and truth. Excellent adventure.
The concept and vision of Emmanuel is very exciting. I wonder if, in a sense, what Trumeau was to be vis-a-vis Art Colleges, Emmanuel will be vis-a-vis traditional Xian churches -- a model of an art-centric congregation. By definition all churches should be such, but as you know for the last century or two anyway they have shied away from the centrality of creativity and artistic expression in the life of Xian community.
I especially love the line in your liturgy, "Our creativity, our art, our poetry, our visual expressions are reflections of your creativity, your Spirit working in us and around us. Open our imaginations...that we might explore our own creativity." I would make this statement even stronger by changing the term "'reflections' of your creativity" to "'incarnations' of your creativity"; for we incarnate the Kingdom of God in this life, even as with the resurrection of Jesus 2000 years ago, the Kingdom of God broke into history ("inaugurated eschatology").
Thanks for your faithfullness, dear friends Dan and Connie.
Shalom, dave kragen
