Candlemas service at St. Dunstan's to promote justice and activism

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

At St. Dunstan's, we want to try something new with something old. We want to use the ancient tradition of Candlemas to start a new wave of justice. To shine the Light of Peace into our modern world that has so much injustice and darkness.

We are calling for people to repent of any ways in which they add to injustice or fail to fight injustice in the places they can.

On February 2, 2023 at 7pm we are having a service called Candlemas. Traditionally this service is about celebrating the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple as a baby. It represents the bringing of Christ’s Light to the whole world.

In modern times it’s been a mixed bag on how well churches have stepped up to love as Christ calls us to love, by both fully accepting people as well as taking care of people. We at Saint Dunstan’s are doing what we can to fix that. We want to put into action the prayer we always say, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven”.

Because prayer without action would only be further sinfulness on our parts, we have reached out to activist partners to come and have tables with information on how people can get involved.

The Service will run from 7pm to about 8pm. After the service we will gather in the parish hall to share specific ways we can get involved, get active, and make a difference. We hope you will take this opportunity to get involved with local groups to add or continue your effort to making this world a better place.

You can RSVP on Eventbrite or Facebook.

If you are involved in an advocacy group that might like to join with us for this, please email office@sdchp.org by 10am on Wednesday.

Christmas, or Christ’s Mass

Christmas (in old English, Cristes maesse) is a festival celebrated on December 25, commemorating the Incarnation of the Word of God in the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Book of Common Prayer, it is also called The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the United States it is also a popular secular holiday.

In the Book of Common Prayer, Christmas Day is one of the seven principal feasts. The Christmas season lasts twelve days, from Christmas Day until January 5, the day before the Epiphany. The season includes Christmas Day, the First Sunday after Christmas Day, the Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and may include the Second Sunday after Christmas Day. In many parishes, the main liturgical celebrations of Christmas take place on Christmas Eve.

Church of the Redeemer

Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6210 NE 181st St in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway.

December Prayer Lab at Saint Dunstan's

Friday, December 2, 2022

Saint Dunstan’s the Church that feeds people is offering an adult education opportunity this week.

On Wednesday December 7, 2022 at 6:45pm we will have our December Prayer lab. Prayer Lab is an experiential learning series that helps people learn different ways to pray and experience their relationship with the Creator.

This month we will be doing the second part of the forms of prayer started by Saint Ignatius. 

We will be practicing finding ourselves in the Biblical Narrative. This practice is about approaching scripture from different views and imagining it from the view of difference perspectives. The hope is that this allows for a deeper understanding of the scripture you are studying and reveals new truths for our lives.

St. Dunstan moves their Community Dinner back inside

Monday, November 14, 2022

Indoor dining at St. Dunstan's

We are ready to put the “community” back in our Community Dinner! For the last two years we have pivoted to offering hot meals in take-out boxes, at 3:30pm. 

While this did provide food, we missed the community that was shared as the buffet meal was eaten around tables. Friendships were made and flourished. We have continued to deliver hot meals to local homeless tent encampments during this time and will continue to do that.

We are lining up the volunteers and planning the menu (and calling on our fabulous dishwashing team) to return to an inside meal around community tables on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. Dinner will be served from 5pm to 6:30pm. 

This is a free dinner, however donations are always accepted.

Join us on Tuesdays at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church – The Church That Feeds People located at 722 N 145th St, Shoreline WA 98133.

Prayer Labs offered at Saint Dunstan’s the Church that feeds people

Friday, October 28, 2022

Prayer labs at Saint Dunstan's
Saint Dunstan’s the Church that feeds people would like to invite the community to our November and December Prayer Labs.

The topic is the Ignatian Examen, Ignatius was a Basque nobleman from the Pyrenees of northern Spain. He was wounded in the Battle of Pamplona and discerned his spiritual vocation while recovering from a military wound. His life was lived in the early 1500s. 

He composed “Spiritual Exercises” to help others follow the teachings of Jesus. His spiritual practices emphasized the affective life (feelings of the Christian).

Ignatius became expert at helping others deepen their relationship with God by using imagination in prayer, discernment and interpretation of feelings, cultivation of great desires and generous service. 

As one writer said, “Ignatian spiritual renewal focuses more on the heart than the intellect. It holds that our choices and decisions are often beyond the merely rational or reasonable. Its goal is an eager, generous, wholehearted offer of oneself to God and to his work.”

We will look at the first two: Discernment and Interpretation of feelings and imagination in prayer.

Mother Carola will lead us on Wednesday, November 2 on discernment in the Christian’s life and will focus on the Examen that Ignatius taught to his trainees.

Then in December Sarah Roskam will lead us on Wednesday, December 7 using imagination in prayer. We will focus on stories of Advent.

If you’re interested in the Prayer Lab please RSVP using the following link. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/450864015407

Bach piano concert at St. Dunstan's Sunday, October 23, 2022 to help feed hearts and souls

Tuesday, October 18, 2022

Kohler and Campbell piano at St. Dunstan's
As the Church that Feeds People we hope to help feed people’s hearts and souls with music by providing concerts to the community at large. 

The concerts are free, but donations are accepted at the door for those that want to support and help us to continue to provide these concerts.

On Sunday October 23, 2022 at 3:00pm we have Hartwig Eichberg who will perform Bach's "Aria with Divers Variations," commonly known as the "Goldberg Variations," in its entirety on the beautiful Kohler and Campbell piano at St. Dunstan's. 

The Goldberg Variations count among the few works which Bach had published himself, a sign he valued them highly and wanted them to shape his legacy. 

Experiencing these variations is like getting to know a big family: each of the 30 members gathered has a distinct personality, yet one senses their common relation to the matriarch who sits and shines at the center. This concert will be a musical treat as Bach's artistry and humanity unfolds before us.

Please RSVP on Eventbrite

Suggested Donations: $5 for Students, $15 for Adults, $30 for Families.

Sign up to help with the cold weather shelter

Saturday, October 8, 2022

Cold weather shelter at Saint Dunstan's on N 145th

The weather now is unseasonably warm and sunny in spite of wildfire smoke, so it may be hard to think of long and cold nights to come.

But they will come and people will still be living unsheltered even when it is freezing.

The shelter location is set, the pallets are ready. All that is needed are caring volunteers who will spend a night or two at the cold weather shelter.

It's an on call position, based on when temperatures drop. For more information or to sign up, email staff@nuhsa.org or call 206-550-5626.

Prayer Lab - Celtic Spirituality workshop October 5 at Saint Dunstan's

Saturday, October 1, 2022

Since 2010 Saint Dunstan’s has had the blessing of learning from Brother John Ryan.

He joined a Franciscan order as a young man and left the order to become a chaplain.

Saint Dunstan's will be doing a Prayer Lab lesson on October 5, 2022 which Brother Ryan will be leading, about Thin Places, or spots that we feel we have been touched by the Presence of the Sacred.

He has explained what it’s about as follows:

People experience a Thin Place in many different ways as expressed in many different traditions and cultures. 
The Irish Celtic Tradition was established long before Christianity was brought to the Isle. 
There are still sacred mounds, hills, wells, walls, trees and places at which people have touched the sacred. 
You and I can and have experienced such places and events in which we have been touched by and touched the Presence of the Sacred. 
It is said the place between our world and that beyond is experienced through this place of the thin veil. We will look at examples of these experiences both ancient and present and have the opportunity to express our own experiences. 
For a time we will have the opportunity to be for each other “anam cara” or soul friends, for we all live in the shadow of each other. 
--Br. John Ryan, OSF

We invite you to join us to learn from him. You can RSVP on Eventbrite. Prayer Lab-Celtic Spirituality- Experiencing the Thin Place Tickets, Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at 6:45 PM | Eventbrite

New Bible Study Fellowship Group for Men starts in Shoreline on September 12

Monday, September 12, 2022

Shoreline area residents wishing to dig deeper into the Bible will have a new and local opportunity with the partnership of Bible Study Fellowship and Berean Bible Church of Shoreline beginning September 12, 2022.

Berean Men’s Ministry will host the BSF program, an in-depth, interdenominational Bible study. BSF includes weekly personal study, sharing within small groups, lectures, and notes. All this helps men to be in God’s Word consistently.

“The Elder Board at Berean Bible Church is excited to host the BSF program for men,” stated Dan Royal, board member, and Berean Men’s Ministry Team. “One of our pillars is, Grounded in God’s Word. BSF is an extension of that pillar. We invite all men to join us in studying God’s word to stay or become grounded in him!”

The men’s BSF is open to any man from the area who wants to participate. There is no cost to join the Bible study program, which begins in September and runs weekly through May, except during the holidays. Participants do not need to be a member of any church or denomination or even attend church. Men seeking a better understanding of God’s Word and His place in men’s lives are welcome.

Bible Study Fellowship is an international organization that offers Bible study in 120 countries, with thousands of groups meeting for chapter-by-chapter Bible study. Each week, men gather to study the Bible, learn from one another, and be challenged and encouraged to live for something larger than themselves.

Gerhard Ade, a long-time participant in Men’s BSF, stated, “Having joined BSF in 2002, I’ve deepened my understanding of the Bible through study and sharing the Word with other men. BSF is non-denominational and aims to grow personal relationships with God, which equips each man to serve his churches to the best of his ability.”

“When I have felt spiritually dry, I have found cracking open the Bible and asking questions of the text awakens me spiritually,” Daniel Kutz, BSF Teaching Leader, stated. “And I have found BSF to be that place that helps me stay spiritually alive through consistent bible study.”

Starting this fall, the studies explore the roots of our faith while continuing to deepen the understanding of Jesus as Messiah. “People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided” will increase hope in Christ by exploring 15 Old Testament books, from the death of Solomon through exile.

Berean already hosts two women and children’s groups of BSF. The women and children meet on Tuesday at the church, while the new men’s group will meet on Mondays. Berean Bible Church is located at 2345 N 185th St (at 1st Ave NE) in Shoreline.

For information about the Men’s BSF meeting, contact Bob Junell at Berean Church office, 206 363 1466, or contact Eric: bsf755eric@gmail.com

Registration for the new Men’s BSF is at: https://join.bsfinternational.org/

For information about the women’s and children’s, contact Anne: annerude@comcast.net.

St. Dunstan's dedicates new organ with recital September 18 featuring Aaron David Miller

Friday, September 9, 2022

Aaron David Miller, organist
Join us on Sunday September 18, 2022 at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Shoreline, WA at 3pm as we celebrate the installation of our new organ with the long awaited - and twice postponed - Dedicatory Recital, presented by Aaron David Miller, a world-renowned organ recitalist and improviser.

Dr. Miller will play a thrilling program with repertoire spanning the centuries, will lead the audience in a rousing hymn, and will open and close his program with improvisations - including an improvised Organ Suite! 

A reception will follow the concert where you can meet the artist and the organ's builders.

This concert is free and open to the community. It is underwritten and co-sponsored by the Seattle Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Two decades ago, Saint Dunstan’s Episcopal Church began raising money to replace their church organ. 

In 2019, they launched the “Imagine the Ways” capital campaign to finish raising funds for the organ and make significant other capital improvements to the church facilities. 

The sanctuary remodel by Deacon Construction was completed sooner than planned, and by late 2020 the installation of the Ortloff Organ Opus 2 was complete. However, the dedication concert was delayed due to continuing pandemic restrictions.

We are delighted that the dedication concert is happening on September 18, 2022, at 3:00pm.

St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church
722 North 145th Street Shoreline, WA 98133

For more information visit the Saint Dunstan’s Episcopal Church website’s concert page at https://www.sdchp.org/music-2/organ/ To let us know you’re coming, please RSVP on Event Brite.
