The Franklins and Fourth Sundays

Now that me and mine have actually moved to South Lake Union, we're taking some time to get to know what goes on here and praying about how we might become meaningfully involved.

One of the things that is really important to us is to know the churches, so Josh and I and the girls are using fourth Sundays to get to know the Sunday morning specific things around here.

A few weeks ago we went to Immanuel Lutheran, a church whose steeple we see outside our window everyday. It was really great to be on the inside, to participate in the liturgy, sing along with the people of God, and hear about the different ministries they have going on (most notably helping people transition from homelessness and keeping up a large food bank and hygiene program). We look forward to crossing paths with Immanuel Lutheran more in the future, and connecting Union with Immanuel however God might lead.

Of course, using these Sundays to get to know the neighborhood means that we can't be with the residents we have shared fourth Sundays for almost three years. This is one of those times we wish we could be two places at once! Please know that we are remembering you as you take
time to engage with these dear ones.
