Gas Works Park BBQ’s

For six Tuesdays, July 22-August 26, at 7:00 pm, the community groups within the Fremont/Wallingford area will gather to host barbeque’s in Gas Works Park. We will eat, fellowship, and study through the great book of Ephesians, diving into a new chapter each week. Bring your own meat and buns, and the groups will provide everything else!

This is a great opportunity to meet some new friends, join a community group, and build connections within our neighborhood. Please feel free to bring friends, neighbors, and family! For more details, please contact Alison Martin on The City or call 206-446-2734.

Help Support the Ballard College Ministry

Our College Ministry holds an annual event to train leaders and make disciples. Being poor college students, they’re working to raise support. Rather than breaking your back to finish those pesky summer jobs, you can have students clean, landscape, paint, move, or other odd jobs of your choice. If no work comes to mind, you can still support the College Advance by “Sponsoring a Student.” Every $50 will subsidize the cost for one college student. For more information or to sign-up, visit marshillchurch.org/college.

Considering Marriage Seminar

The Bible speaks of marriage as a covenant, a model, a form of relational, romantic, and practical worship that models the exquisite romance between Christ and His church. This seminar serves as an informational overview of premarital study for couples. It is open to anyone in Mars Hill who plan to be married in the next 4-12 months and intend to enroll in the quarterly Preparing for Marriage class. Email erin@marshillchurch.org for more information. Click here to register. You do not need to be a member to register.

Stuff the Bus

Stuff the Bus is a joint effort between Communities in Schools of Seattle (CISS) and local organizations, like Mars Hill Church, to provide children in need with the school supplies required to be successful in the upcoming school year. In a district of over 46,ooo students, more than 40% come from impoverished backgrounds. You can help these local students by donating school supplies on August 10th and 17th before and after church services. You can also talk to your community group leader about volunteering to collect and distribute supplies.
