Support
Groups at Admiral Church
~ April 12th
Are you (or someone you know) experiencing
the challenges of a care-giving situation, or grieving the loss of a family member or friend? Admiral is now hosting two free
support groups facilitated by Janice M.:
~ "Caring for the Caregiver" - Support
for individuals who provide assistance to another person with an acute or chronic condition, 10:30 - 11:30am.
~ "Living with Loss" - Moving through
grief after the loss of a family member or friend, Noon - 1:00pm (bring a brown bag lunch).
The next meeting of each of these
groups will be Saturday, April 12th. The theme for both groups
this month will be "Effective Coping Skills."
Please call the church office for more information, 206-932-2928.
Congregational Meeting ~ April 13, 2008
The Church Council has called for a special meeting following worship that Sunday to discuss a
proposal coming from the West Seattle Unitarian Universalist Fellowship that we enter into a covenant of shared building use.
The U.U. fellowship have been meeting for twenty years at the Masonic Lodge and are finding that the space is inadequate as
they continue to grow. Some of the challenges this presents would be formulating a workable Sunday morning schedule, coordinating
office and meeting space through the week, storage sharing. At the same time it creates an opportunity for shared stewardship
of the building, both financially and in terms of volunteer labor. It's likely that the U.U. fellowship would join us in pursuit
of common goals in terms of social justice ministry. At this point, it is essential that members of the congregation have
a chance to be informed, ask questions, and share their thoughts.
This meeting will also be a time when the Council is able to share information gathered, so far,
about options for building repairs and remodeling.
Lunch and "Listening as Spiritual Discipline" ~ Sunday, April 20th
The book, The A.R.T. of Agape Listening, by Glenn Boyd, will be the basis for "Listening as a Spiritual Discipline,"
a seminar led by Sue Kesler following worship on April 20th.
Sue invite’s:
"I hope that you will stay for lunch and think through listening as a spiritual discipline with me. There will be presentation
combined with lots of discussion. The concepts I will present have changed my life. It is my prayer that they can, and will,
change yours as well. When we learn how to better listen to each other, it follows that we will be a better listener to our
Lord."
Book Club ~ April and May
April's book, Highest Tide
by Kevin Lynch, will be viewed at Book-It Theater on Saturday, May 10, at 2:00 PM. Meanwhile, readers are working on Tracy
Kiddder's Mountains Beyond
Mountains, to be discussed on May 26th

"Facing the Music, Celebrating the Musical Legacy of Steve Goodman"
Admiral Church,
Saturday, April 12th
Presented by Clay Eals
Many of us have heard about, seen, maybe even are reading Clay Eals’ book about
the life and times of Steve Goodman. Most recently, he and a group of musician friends presented a program of music and stories
to a packed house at Third Place Books.
After almost forty such events, in locations all across the country, Clay along with
singer/guitarist Tom Colwell with accompanists Bruce Hanson on bass and Mark Myers on dobro and harmonica will be offering
us a chance to hear his stories and enjoy some great Steve Goodman music right here at Admiral Church.
Please plan to come and join the fun on Saturday evening, April 12 at 7:00 p.m. If
you remember Steve Goodman and his singing and song writing, wonderful! Even if you don't, you'll be sure to enjoy experiencing
what Clay and friends have to share and getting acquainted with some fine music, an important part of the American Folk Tradition.

Join the Fun! Restore the River!
Saturday April 19, 2008
Come join "People for Puget Sound" as hundreds of volunteers roll up their
sleeves to work on multiple simultaneous habitat restoration projects along the Duwamish River. Duwamish Alive! is
a chance for people to reclaim the river by weeding invasive plants, planting native species, mulching the planting areas,
and picking up debris from the riverfront sites.
Some of the day's clean-up sites will be in West Seattle. For specific information,
or to sign up, see http://pugetsound.org/events/duwamishalive.
Pastor Terry especially invites our teens and parents to join him in this effort.
