We invite you to worship with us at
8:30 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. every Sunday.
Our worship is spiritual, casual, and open to all. We invite you to come and check us out. Nursery care is available during worship, and children are invited to go to Sunday School partway through the worship service.
Communion is one of two sacraments (the other is baptism) in our church. We celebrate it on the first Sunday of each month. Whether you belong to our church, or another church, or no church at all, you are welcome to participate if you would like to. We offer both wheat bread and rice cakes, and use unfermented grape juice..

 Bible Study Day Change
The Thursday evening Bible Study is moving to WEDNESDAY evening Bible Study. 
Same time, same place (7 p.m. at the church) just a different day. Anyone and
everyone is invited.

Food Bank Sundays

Hunger is a year round issue. Admiral Church has made

the third Sunday of the month Food Bank Sunday.
You are encouraged to bring shopping bags and food items.

Please place them in the basket next to Donald's Office.
Checks put into the Offering Plate for Food Banks along with

checks from the markets honoring our grocery receipts
are combined. These monies are then divided among the

West Seattle,White Center and Senior Center of West Seattle

for the purchase of bulk foods.  Leonette graciously takes the

food  gifts to the Senior Center of West Seattle most months.

For thebig food drive in November, the Murrays help deliver

to White Center and West Seattle Food Banks.   Most needed

items continue  to be:  peanut butter, canned meats,stews, soups,

pastas, cereals, dessert mixes, Hamburger Helper,

Rice-A-Roni, canned fruits, Ensure, and Boost. 

  Thank you for your continued support of these Food Banks.

Epiphany Around the World

During the season after the Epiphany (January 6 – February 19) we are celebrating
a variety of cultures from around the world. So far we have celebrated:
January 15 - Africa and African-Americans; honoring the birthday of the Rev.
Dr. Martin Luther King
January 22 – The orient; honoring Asian New Year
January 29 – Germany; it was Germans who started Groundhog Day,
February 2 in Pennsylvania
Coming up:
February 5 – Aotearoa New Zealand; honoring
Waitangi Day, February 6. Waitangi Day is a
national holiday in Aotearoa New Zealand,
remembering a famous treaty made between
the native Maori people and the immigrant
English. Sadly, the treaty said one thing in English and another in
Maori, and was oppressive of the Maori people.
February 12 – The United Kingdom; they were the first to celebrate Valen
tine’s Day
February 19 – Pancakes, in honor of Shrove Tuesday, February 21. Shrove
Tuesday – called Mardi Gras (fat Tuesday) in French, and
carnival (“end of the meat”) in Spanish – is the last day before
Lent begins. The word “shrove” means “confession”
because people would confess their sins on this day and be
absolved, prior to Lent. Traditionally, because people gave
up eating sweets and fat food during Lent, Shrove Tuesday
was a day to make and eat pancakes so you could use up
the syrups and jams in your cupboards. We’re using this an
excuse to have a pancake breakfast in the morning, between the 8:30 and 10:30
worship services. Plan to stay late or come early, and enjoy a veritable feast!
