Join us!
Whether you are a life-long follower of Jesus or just beginning to investigate spiritual truths, a great church can make all the difference. Wherever you are at on your spiritual journey, we believe you will find a welcome, caring place at Lake Union.
We don't have all the answers and you may not even know what questions you have; but what a great adventure it is when we try to put the two of them together. At Lake Union no one is an outsider; you are just someone we haven't met yet.
Come join us Sundays and see if there is a connection to be made.

Exciting news! The Leadership Team decided that RSVPs are no longer needed! Effective today (April 16), we will no longer be asking for RSVPS in order to collect that information. We will continue to have two services on Sunday for now, and the mask information has not changed. (Click here to view mask information.)
Thank you for your patience as we, together, continue to safely journey through COVID.
Due to strong feelings and divergent views on the mask mandate, the Leadership Team took action to modify our requirements for in-house church services.
9 AM service: Masks are mandated (note exemptions below) for the full service including during singing. (You may want to leave your coffee or other beverage in your car.)
10:30 service: Masks are required (note exemptions below) upon entering and exiting the building and the wearing of a mask during the service is recommended.
If you do not wear a mask continually at the 9 AM service, it will be recommended that you consider attending the 10:30 service. Also, any visiting done in the fellowship hall or outside should include social distancing. Our concern is to keep everyone as safe as possible but also as comfortable as possible as we worship together.

Hey Church Family!
Our Safe Families for Children Ministry Lead, Christine Treichler, is asking for help in meeting a need for a family in Monticello. One of the ways Lake Union Church can help the mom, Tracy, and her son, Tucker, is by providing meals twice a week.
The church set up a Meal Train for Tracy and Tucker. You can find the link here: https://mealtrain.com/4qm7g8. The mom has serious health issues along with diet restrictions and she is unable to physically cook for her son. Information about appropriate foods including Tucker’s preferences are included in the Meal Train.
Basically, we need two meals a week delivered to Christine’s home on Sundays starting April 11. These are the Monday and Thursday meals for the coming week. Only a Safe Families for Children Resource Friend or Family Friend can deliver to Tracy and Tucker, and Christine has agreed to do this. Christine would love to have more people apply for either of those Safe Families for Children roles, and then you could deliver directly.
Please consider signing up for a meal and, hopefully, more than one. And please pray for Tracy and Tucker.
If you have questions, please contact Christine (mschief228@gmail.com) or the church (office@lakeunionchurch.org).
