Howdy Quest!  For those not living under a rock you know that another great Seattle summer is in full swing. With summer comes a chance to enjoy not only the outdoors, but also enjoy each other as we start up our annual C-Plays. Most regular community groups will be taking a break for the summer, though a few like the Newcomer's group will continue. In their place we'll have a number of groups starting up on June 28th that are more informal and oriented around an activity. Among the groups we have cycling, basketball, ultimate frisbee, badminton & BBQ, hiking, photography, and even just getting to know one another over food. Groups are open, so its ok to drop in even if you've missed a week or two.

What Can You Do With $200?

For the past couple of years we have been running an experiment with our community groups with the goal of equipping them to be missional.  We want our c-groups to grow both down and out, meaning that we hope there will bbe a depth of relationships and faith, but also that they will resist the temptation to turn inward and insular.  We want them to be challenged to creatively experiment making present the Kingdom of God in their neighborhoods and cities.

Changes to Sunday services due to H1N1 (Swine Flu)

Dear Quest,

It is very rare for our church to send more than one email/week to our church community, but in light of the current situation with the H1N1 (aka Swine Flu) virus, not just globally, but also in Seattle, we wanted to let you know that for the next several weeks (or until the situation settles down), we’ve made some precautionary decisions. Please note that our intent isn’t to propagate fear but rather, practice discerning precaution.  There will be two notable changes to our Sunday worship service:

This past Sunday, Quest had the privilege of dedicating and baptizing several infants, children and adult believers at all three services. For those of you that weren't able to be there (and even for those that were!) we'd like to share the testimonies of two Questers who were baptized at the 5pm service, Rosalind Sciammas and Sarah Ryer. We hope it will bless you as it has richly blessed us!

artSpeak | Art Fair @ Quest, May 28th & 29th

We believe that we serve a God who is the ultimate creator-- designed, planned and brought into motion our world and our lives.  We, made in His image, are also called to create, to beautify our surroundings, to explore expression and to appreciate the means we have to capture our world and give back.  How is our art, our creations worship and reverence to our God?  In addition, as much as we are given the gift of creation as a means to enjoy, to explore, to learn, to grow and to worship-- how is our art, our creations used to speak into the larger issues of our world?  How can we use our art to shed light, cultivate awareness and establish understanding within our communities?  This form can take various faces ranging from expressions of story and injustice right in the artistic piece itself to partnerning our work with others to bring understanding and support.  Whatever the means, we have to be engaging this work with integrity and with the core desi

Life Together Auction for World Aid!

By rjgintrepid on

The Life Together ministry at Quest is all about community: playing together, learning together, and growing deeper in our faith and relationships with other post-college Questers. But this year we also wanted to put some legs to that faith and bless the larger Quest community. That's why we are asking you to join us in making our upcoming fundraiser on May 9th a smashing success. Our goal is twofold: first, to provide scholarships for the annual Life Together Retreat, so that cost would not be a hindrance to anyone wishing to experience a weekend of teaching and fellowship. Second, we wanted to highlight and raise funds for World Aid, one of the many non-profit ministries that Quest partners with.
