Our new church building

Take one fabulous congregation with 150 adults and 80 kids

add

one lonely building


and

juuuuust the right time

and you get...

The Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation! And it's new building! With a glorious view of Puget Sound and just enough of everything to be JUST RIGHT!

I can't believe that this wonderful congregation I serve has purchased this beautiful building. We first saw the building in November, we launched the capital campaign in January and got the keys a week ago today. During the worst recession in memory, we did it.

May it be a beautiful ministry in a beautiful space filled with beautiful people. And may it grow to meet the spiritual needs of all who are searching. With love. And care.

Amen.

Congratulations on the new home for your congregation! From the video it seems like you should have the room to do lots of creative and exciting stuff there.

And a view of the Sound. Wow!

Blessings!
