TWO COOL EVENTS AT EMMANUEL - NOVEMBER 14th & 21st

This week, Saturday the fourteenth of November, between 6 & 8 PM, at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Ballard, we will have our last session with Dr. Blaine Charette on the Sermon on the Mount series. Be sure to come out and bring friends. This insightful series has been rich with all kinds of practical application to the radical teachings of Jesus Christ. It has been truly delightful. Be sure to get in on this week's final session. It will be a one-of-a-kind event.

Next Saturday evening, the twenty-first of November, between 5 & 8 PM at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Ballard, EMMANUEL will have an ART PARTY to celebrate the creative works produced during the Forty-Days of Creation. There will be an OPEN MIC SESSION and ART SHOW. People will read poetry, make music, sing songs they've written, and showcase their works of visual art.

A FREE catered dinner is available on the 21st for everyone who RSVPs Dan Rice this week, before the 18th. Let us hear from you today.

A HEALTH CARE REPORT ALL SHOULD SEE

Here is a link to a PBS FRONTLINE REPORT about health care that I thought was quite interesting - unemotional - thoughtful - objective and worth viewing. It takes the hyperbole and ranker out of the subject and allows us to have something that approaches a rational discussion. You can view the entire piece online at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/

I do hope you enjoy this. We all know it is an important subject.
