Sermon Questions
- When you look at your own life as a kaleidoscope, what are the “shards” — experiences, relationships, or challenges — that have shaped your faith and how you see God today?
- How has God helped you find beauty or meaning in moments that first felt chaotic, uncertain, or broken?
- As a reflection of God’s light, how might you let your unique colors — your gifts, passions, and faith — shine in your community and beyond?

Community Announcements
Blaine Memorial UMC responds to food insecurity
When: November Sundays, Tuesdays-Fridays 10:00a-4:00pm (Excluding Veterans Day)
Where: Blaine Memorial UMC Office, Social Hall
From Rev. Karen:
During this past Sunday’s (11/2) sermon message, I addressed the need for food at our local food banks. Across our nation, and increasingly within our Seattle-area, families are facing a deepening struggle to meet their most basic needs. Last Saturday, the federal freeze of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits placed millions of households in a dire position, impacting low-income families, working households, and federal employees living paycheck to paycheck. This is the first time in our nation’s history where SNAP benefits have lapsed. In many cases, these individuals and families are now experiencing food shortages and are faced with making impossible choices between food, utilities, and housing.
This growing food insecurity crisis is not confined to one community or state; it is unfolding across the state of Washington, and across the country. Rising costs of living have already stretched budgets to their limit. Local food banks and nonprofit partners are reporting a significant increase in need, and there is an opportunity for us to help our neighbors who are in need.
Here’s a list of the most needed foods to help keep shelves stocked at Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) and the Rainier Valley Food Bank.
Please drop off your new, unopened containers/donations in the black trunk in the Narthex:
- Seasonings
- Cooking Oil
- Nuts
- Fish Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Gluten-free Foods
- Dried fruit
- Cold/Hot Cereals
- Dry Beans & Lentils
- Grains
- Instant Grains
- Flour
- Sugar
- Popcorn
- Herbs/Spices
- Infant Formula
- Dry Goods (Rice & Pasta)
- Small Pasta Noodles
- Infant Formula
- Canned Chicken, SPAM & Tuna
- Instant Mashed Potatoes
- Canned Fruit
- Canned Meals (Soups & Chili)
- Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal & Grits
- Nutrient Replacement Drinks
- Stuffing
- Apple Sauce
- Nut Butter
- Dog & Cat Food
- Diapers
- Toothbrushes & Toothpaste
- Shaving Supplies
- Feminine Hygiene Products
If you’d like to give directly to the local organizations, please do so. They have the capacity to purchase food at discounted bulk rates. Please click on ACRS and/or Rainier Valley Food Bank.
We will take this collection during November. Thank you again for making a difference. Thank you for coming together to create free food opportunities amid delays in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits due to the ongoing government shutdown. May you continue to be a blessing in the community as we work to provide basic necessities for everyone.
The Beacon is now available!
