There are many small groups at Holy Spirit that allow us to share in the fellowship of a group with common interests. Scroll down to see them or select from the list at right to get specific information on the group of your choice.
THE PRAYER CHAIN is for everyone. Please call whenever you have concerns for which you would like prayer. Prayer requests may come from anyone at anytime. All requests are held in strictest confidence. We encourage anyone who would like to join us in praying for others to do so.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God." (Phil. 4:6)
To begin a request on the prayer chain or to become a participant, please contact Margie Boughner through the Church Office
Family Meal Club is a fun way to share fellowship with other church families who have children of a similar age. We, as parents, can show our children that getting together with others from church is a fun way to spend our time and get to know our church community.
Interested families register and three families are grouped together for a rotation. Each group will have the school year to schedule three meals - one at each home - at a convenient time and can be whatever type of meal the host family wants to have.
One of the families will be designated to host the first meal and call or email the others to set up a mutually convenient evening to host. One of the other families will provide the salad or side and the other family will provide dessert. The host provides the rest of the meal and beverages and invites a 4th family as "guests" for the evening. The guests only bring themselves.
At the end of the first meal, the families pick two other dates for the other families to host dinner and determine who brings the salad/side and dessert so that each family gets a chance to host, bring the side/salad and bring the dessert. Each school year, the Family Meal Club families are reshuffled, assigned to a new group and the cycle starts over! We will try to minimize the repetitions so you can get to know other families.
To sign up, please contact Becky Cole at 425-823-2727.
We are looking for experienced quilters to help with our High School Senior Quilt project. The pattern we use is very easy and a lot of fun to assemble.
Questionnaires are sent to all current graduating seniors in August. In September, the quilters will be able to select a student for whom to make a quilt. A series of workshops will be scheduled to assist in completing the quilts.
The finished quilts are presented to the graduating seniors during an 11:00 am worship service in May. We will have a cookie reception and photo op with seniors and quilters following the 11:00 am service.
We hope you will consider joining us in this worthwhile and rewarding endeavor! We have a great time, and the presentation of the quilts is a very meaningful experience for both the student and the quilter.
Contact Jeri Wohlman or Jackie Curdy through the Church Office to sign up.
HSLC Quilters meet on Thursdays at 9:00 am and 7:00 pm in the lower fellowship hall area—next to the preschool space. We meet every week except for VBS in July, Thanksgiving and the last two weeks of December.
Our goal is to make 150 quilts for Lutheran World Relief each year. We also make quilts for the Eastside Baby Corner and new residents of Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing (K.I.T.H.). Our materials are funded by the HSLC budget, generous donations from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and fabric donated by friends and members of Holy Spirit Lutheran. Because of this generosity, it is not necessary for us to have to spend our time organizing fundraisers.
We welcome anyone to join us who loves fabric, likes to sew, likes to quilt or would like to learn. Skill level is not important, but a sense of humor probably is! Join us on Thursdays either in the morning or evening. If you have questions, contact Joyce Pinnt or Donna Morris through the Church Office
Join the "fix-it" men of the church on Wednesday mornings as we work on projects such as painting, maintenance, fixing, repairing and basically being useful!
We start off the morning with a coffee break and after all the hard work is done, we end it with lunch at a local restaurant.
Gathering time is every Wednesday morning all year long from 9:30-11:30 am, except during Vacation Bible School week. If you’ve got the time, we’d love to have you join us!
This is a mid-week Bible study that meets on Wednesday mornings at 11:00 am and is led by one of the pastors. We usually study the lessons for the following Sunday. If you are available on Wednesday mornings, please come! Invite a neighbor or friend to come with you.
We begin our study group in September and continue through May.
Meals of Love is a ministry that provides meals for our church family, on occasion, due to a hospital stay, birth of a new baby, an injury/illness, or during the time of the loss of a loved one. If you have ever been on the receiving end of this kind of expression of love, then you know how wonderful it is to receive it. We want to help lighten the load for those in our community who are experiencing difficulties.
How it works: We receive requests from families and work with them to understand their needs. We use the online service mealtrain.com to create the calendar. An email is generated from this system to contact several volunteers who prepare and deliver meals as needed. You choose the date that works best for you and provide a short description of what you plan to bring (you can change your mind). The food can be homemade or if you want to participate but don’t have time to cook (or do not like cooking), you can purchase a meal from a deli (chicken, potato salad, beans and dessert for example) and bring that to the family.
If you need a meal: Please email meals@hslckirkland.org or call 425-823-2727
To provide a meal: HSLC is in need of more volunteers to help with this ministry. You control when and how many meals you can provide during a specific time; you do not have to sign up every time. This is a perfect service ministry for anyone...regardless of your schedule. To volunteer for this wonderful team, email meals@hslckirkland.org or call 425-823-2727.
The Vintage Spirits is our 60+ members group. “Vintage” to us signifies “a collection of contemporaneous persons of recognized and enduring interest, importance and quality.” Anyone who fits this description is welcome do join us.
Don’t let the name “vintage spirits” fool you! This is a very active group who likes to get together for a variety of activities, which may include playing games, watching movies, going on field trips, inviting speakers who talk about their travels or other interesting topics or whatever else sounds interesting to us. Sometimes we just like to take time to visit and enjoy each other’s company. We always share in bringing snacks to our meetings to go along with our coffee.
We meet once a month on the 2nd Wednesday from 1:00-3:00 pm at Holy Spirit. We look forward to growing and expanding our program and are excited about new opportunities for our group. We will do a variety of activities for our 2nd time during the month. Sometimes we will meet on that 4th Wednesday of the month here at the church and sometimes we may just decide to go on a field trip. About four times a year we plan to go somewhere outside of the church like to the Tulip Fields or on a tour somewhere. Watch the weekly bulletins and newsletters to find out where we will be at other times during the month.
Tammie Zarfos coordinates the programming and activities for the group. Please contact her through the church office if you have questions or ideas to share. Paula and Walter Schlotterbeck will also help with planning and facilitating the meetings.
Supper Club is a rotating dinner program that is a fun way to share fellowship with other church members you might not otherwise meet and with those whom you have wanted to get better acquainted.
Interested people register as couples/partners/ "pair of friends" and on a 6-month rotation three couples are grouped together, with one designated as the lead couple.
The group then has six months to schedule three "suppers", one at each couple’s home, and can involve any type of meal and time to get together (usually some sort of informal dinner).
The "lead" couple calls the others and sets up a mutually convenient evening to host the first supper and arranges for one of the other couples to provide the salad for that dinner and the other provides dessert. The host couple provides the rest of the meal and beverages and also invites a 4th couple of their choosing (a guest couple). The guest couple is, of course, not expected to bring anything to dinner but their smiling faces.
At the end of that first evening the couples pick dates for the other two couples to host dinner and decide who will bring salad and dessert so that each couple hosts, brings the salad and brings the desert on one of the three dates.
After a six-month period, the Supper Club member couples are reshuffled, assigned to new groups, and the cycle starts over, with the intention that there is minimal repetition in pairings. To sign up, contact Bev & Bill Carberry through the Church Office.
We invite you to join the HSLC Book Club. We gather on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the library (lower level) to discuss our month's read. We warmly welcome regular participants as well as occasional drop-ins.
Together we decide what books we will read and have found that a wide variety of genres and authors keeps the discussion interesting. Reads for 2011-2012 can be found here.
Great food, fellowship and enlightening discussion and sharing occur every 4th Saturday, September through May. Our discussions center around short presentations using various media.
Join the men from Holy Spirit and Trinity Lutheran for breakfast and fellowship at 8:30am in the HSLC Fellowship Hall. Cost is $5.00.
The women of Holy Spirit & Trinity Lutheran Churches meet September through May on the second Saturday of each month, in the HSLC Fellowship Hall. All women and friends are welcome to come for fellowship, discussion following a great breakfast, catered by Becky Dress.
Watch the Spirit NEWS for discussion topic information.
