The Lake Union Evangelical Covenant Church Leadership Team would like to welcome Pastor Mark back this week!  We look forward to God's grace and provisions over our church as we strive to be Christ's hands and feet in our community.  Check out the video message below from Pastor Mark. We hope to see all of you soon!

Would you like to remember or honor someone at Easter? We invite you to purchase an Easter lily in "memory or honor of" a special person in your life. The lilies are $8 each and they will be displayed at the Easter service. Right after that service, we invite you to take the Easter lilies you purchased home with you.

You can order and pay online by clicking here.  Order forms are also available on the welcome table at church, and you can give the order form and payment to Lynette Sherer (church admin) or place in the offering plate.  The deadline for ordering is March 21. Contact the church (office@lakeunionchurch.org) if you have questions.

Thank you for your kind note and for the generous gift cards at church this past Sunday.  It was a joy to spend seven Sundays with you this winter, and I continue to be confident that God, who has been doing good things among you, will be faithful as He continues to complete the work He's begun.  Our time together was a gift; thanks again for your generosity and for ministering to my family and me in our own season of transition.  God is good--all the time!  

Much grace and peace be yours in Jesus,
Steve Eng
