thanks Pastor Jeff. I needed this reminder that Jesus really did turn the world upside down. All too often I view difficult circumstances as “God turning my world upside down.”……your message reminded me that sometimes that is exactly what needed to happen…….

Pastor Jeff,
You may remember me–Mike Bayley’s wife. You married us over 12 years ago. 🙂 Found your blog after internet searching for you. Wanted to let you know that Mike was baptized January 31st of this year. Our daughter Jolena (turned 7 last month) was being baptized and Mike decided to be baptized with her. I had been praying for that for years. Thought you might be happy to hear about it. We’re still down here in Oregon–if you ever get down to the Portland area, let us know! Hope all is going well for you!

Hi Glenn, John Polanski here pastor at Woodworth CoB in northeast Ohio. Just read your reflection on the back cover of this Sunday’s bulletin. I would flatter myself thinking I’ve come half as close as you did in getting right down to the bone on the sticky notion of inclusion. So grateful to you my brother! Looking forward to being in touch in the future. All the best to you in your efforts.
North East Seattle Together (NEST)
Hello, my name is Ellen Royal-Ward, and I work for a non-profit organization called NEST. That stands for North East Seattle Together, and we serve as a village in northeast Seattle providing help, support and community events to our members. I’m reaching out today to inquire if your congregation may be interested in volunteering opportunities in our community. If you are like many religious communities who encourage their members to reach out and help where they can, perhaps we can team up together.
Our members all live in NE Seattle and frequently need rides to various appointments. To serve our members, we rely on the help of volunteers to meet those needs. If your members are looking for ways to volunteer in their community helping their senior neighbors, we would love to hear back from you.
The process of becoming a NEST volunteer is easy. We can discuss the process further if you want more information, or please feel free to give your members our contact information to contact us directly.
Thank you so much/ http://www.nestseattle.org
Email us at: info@inestseattle.org
Or call us at: 206-525-6378

My name is Rachel, and I am part of a non-profit organization called IPERC (www.iperc.org) and we help middle and high school international students study in the United States. I am reaching out to you today because I am currently looking for a host family for an incoming 10th-grade boy who will be attending Dartmoor High School this semester.
I am contacting you today to see if you would be willing to put an ad in your church bulletin, or if you know of anyone who would be interested in hosting an international student.
If you have any questions, I would love to discuss this with you further. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Rachel Fullin

Hello,
Do you have small groups during the week or you only have Bible study on Sunday?
Do you have small group for seniors or women?
Thank you.
Glenn Brumbaugh
Pastor John,
Thank you for your kind words. I certainly was blessed to be given that scripture to reflect on. Hopefully our paths cross at some point.
Thanks,
Glenn
Glenn Brumbaugh
Ellen,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I always encourage our members to be more active in the community. I will publicize your group and see what interest responds. Many of our members may actually benefit from your services as well.
I will be educating myself more on your organization and thinking of ways we may be able to assist or utilize your services.
Blessings,
Pastor Glenn
Glenn Brumbaugh
Rachel,
I will certainly see if there is any interest among our congregants. Unfortunately, many of our members live in retirement communities where hosting would not be an appropriate option. If there is interest, I will certainly get them connected with you.
Hello – I am looking for a space to rent to offer a four week series of workshops for young women of our community on Saturday afternoons. At this age, girls desperately need a non-competitive outlet to let go of their stress and anxiety and feel great about themselves.
About the class offering–
We’ll practice basic yoga poses, partner poses and group poses. We’ll journal, meditate, play group games and activities for supporting each other, learn and share about ourselves and create ideas of how we can make the world a better place for all. We’ll focus on positive self-image, self-love, and kindness towards ourselves and others. And of course, being strong inside and out. Class series for ages 8 – 11 years are one hour, fifteen minutes, and includes necessary materials.
I would also like to find a space to offer a series similar to this during school holiday weeks, M-F, 8a-5p
I carry liability insurance as a kids yoga instructor.
Thank you,
Charrie Gibson
Kelly Peavey
i previously attended Olympic View church when my family was growing up in the 60s & 70s. Now that my family is grown and my wife has passed on, I would like to get back to the Lord.
I am a shut-in and using a walker. Would that create a problem?
Glenn Brumbaugh
Kelly,
I’m glad you are seeking to get back to your faith and your faith community.
I would be happy to visit with you and we can discuss how we can reconnect you with Olympic View.
Feel free to email me at vicarglenn@gmail.com or you can reach me at the church Tuesdays through Fridays, generally from 10 AM to 2 PM.
I hope to hear from you!
Blessings,
Pastor Glenn

Hi, Is your Christmas Eve service a candlelight service?
Glenn
Are you having a Christmas Day service?
Harriet Koscho
No, we don’t have a service on Christmas Day, unless it’s a year where Christmas lands on a Sunday. We do have a candle-lit Christmas Eve service on December 24 at 4:30, where we end up in a circle of light singing “Silent Night” together.

Did you guys have a sign on you billboard when obama was caging children. If you get detained your separated from your children. Maybe the church should stay out of politics.
Glenn Brumbaugh
The church as the body of Christ has an obligation to stand up against injustice and advocate for the “least of these,” regardless of political implications. If you agree with the current policy and situation, and feel that it is just, then this congregation is not a good fit for you. In Christ’s peace, Pastor Glenn

Hello,
My name is Sungho Lee and I am an elder at Christ Covenant Church of Seattle.
We are interested in leasing your beautiful church building for worship. Currently, we are renting a couple rooms from a community center for our worship services and we are looking into moving to a more appropriate space. We are a small church in congregation, but one that prays and strives to share God’s word and His will with others. Please note, we are a legitimate church, officially registered with the state government. A few years ago, we actually visited your space and spoke with Silvia about a lease but there was another church that was already leasing the space. We are wondering if your situation has changed?
I can be reached either through email at omc1616@hotmail.com or through phone at 206 697 9606.
