Summer C-Play

Summer C-Play, or "community play," will be starting up July 1st and running through August 30th. However, not all groups run all 8 weeks, so be sure to check the group description for the details. These groups are more informal and open than our normal c-groups that run during the school year. C-Plays are a great chance to meet people that go to a different service than you or to start making connections if you're new to Quest. The goal is simply to have fun and build community doing it.

Groups are open, so its ok to drop in even if you've missed a week or two. Group times, dates, and details are listed on the right so find one that sounds fun and jump in. Questions? Email tony@seattlequest.org

"Love is an Orientation" Book Group

Leader(s): 

Emily & Clay Jones (emmymc98@aol.com)

Day: 
Thursday
Time: 
7:30pm
Neighborhood: 

Kirkland

Come join us as we read through the book Love is an Orientation: Elevating the Conversation with the Gay Community by Andrew Marin.  Rather than falling into stereotypical patterns,  we are interested in building bridges from the Church to the gay community by loving them in a purposeful, measurable way.  We'll discuss how to leave behind unhelpful ways of relating that hinder relationships and how to build constructive conversations.  We'll spend time in prayer asking God to reveal what's in our hearts when it comes to this issue in our own lives, and we'll challenge ourselves to take initiative in mending the broken relationship between the Church and the GLBT community.

We'll be meeting in Kirkland at our house Thursday nights at 7:30, starting July 1st.  Please send us an email to let us know you'll be coming and to get directions.
