A Return to Church
On September 11th 2005, I returned to a church congregation after a 12 year absence. I joined the local church 2 blocks down, and here is what the bulliten had to say that day.
Deb is 30 Spends her days working UW in housing. She spends her evenings at school or with her family. In her free time she cooks, hikes, knits and writes. She also spends time volunteering at local events. She is originally from Chicago, but made her way here in 2000 after a short stay in Phoenix. Her biggest challenges are balancing her fantastic domestic life with her work life all while figuring out what she wants to be when she grows up and attending school.
The Church is Broadview UCC. Located at 125th and Greenwood in one of the Northese bits of Seattle, it is a small homey congregation. Average attendance could be estimated at 25-30 people on a Sunday morning. It is an involving congregation, as every little bit of help is appreciated and everyone steps up to offer assistance. While I’m not an every Sunday attendent as life gets in the way, I am very happy with this local community and the role I play in it.
