K.I.T.H.'s (Kirkland Interfaith Transition in Housing) Community Supper is a
meal shared each Tuesday at 6:00pm with those in the community who are having trouble
making ends meet and/or for those who could use the company of others.
The supper, held in the lower fellowship hall, is provided in a loving and
respectful manner with a very strong emphasis on equality. At Community
Supper, we also offer a tutoring program for the children who attend at 5:00
once school begins. We enjoy other fun and informative classes and
celebrations, such as "Back to School" and holiday parties. Jan
Nesbit coordinates the scheduling of this outreach with different area churches
that provide the weekly meals. If you need more information, please
call either Jan Nesbit at (206) 623-1211 or the K.I.T.H. office at (425)
576-9531.
Boy Scout Troop 570 7:00-9:00pm
Scouting is camping, hiking, swimming, campfires, and friendship. Scouting is
learning about the community, our country, and the world. But most of
all, scouting is FUN!!! The troop provides a program that achieves
the Boy Scouts of America objectives of developing character, citizenship, and
personal fitness for boys and young men. Troop activities are focused on
scouts learning and achieving rank advancement, outdoor activities year round,
and service projects in the community.
Additional information about the Troop can be found at
BSA Troop 570
and/or by contacting the Troop Scoutmaster, Dale Rae
(Dale@dfrae.com). Troop 570 meets at HSLC every Tuesday evening in the lower
fellowship hall of the church. HSLC has chartered Troop 570 for over 35
years.
AA, Juanita Triangle 8:00-9:15pm
Our AA program meets on Tuesday nights at 8:00pm to help alcoholics and is open for
anyone to attend. However, a large focus of our meeting is on new sobriety and
how to get recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body with the
help of a power greater than oneself. We provide transportation for patients to
and from the Lakeside Milam treatment facility located close by the church and
hopefully carry the message of recovery to help these newly-sober individuals.
Our focus is on the 12 Steps of AA, following the directions from the Big Book
on how to accomplish that, and turning our will and our lives to a power
greater than ourselves. For more information, visit
the local AA web page and/or the local Al-anon web site.
Please note that the map to our location on these sites has been wrong consistently
for some time. Use the map link at the left hand side of this site for

Cub Scouts Pack 566 7:00-8:30pm (2 x/mo)
Young boys grow up fast. Get your son ready to build wood projects, take
field trips around town, go bowling, skating, bike riding, and swimming, race
pinewood derby cars and boats, and make new friends. Give your son a valuable
gift; investing in him today will make a difference in the person he becomes
tomorrow.
Pack 566, chartered by HSLC, invites you and your son to join this neighborhood
program. The pack celebrated its 30th birthday a few years ago and
continues to teach boys in the 1st-5th grades the scouting values of duty to
family, God, community, and self as well as developing new skills and
interests, gaining a positive sense of self-worth and usefulness, and building
social skills—all while having lots of fun.
Cub Scout Pack 566 meets once a month in the lower fellowship hall of the
church. Parent leaders meet in the conference room on the first Friday of
each month to help plan Pack activities. Service projects the Cub Scouts
help with around the church include the spring and fall clean-up/leaf raking.
