"Exeter C3" is now "Generation to Generation." The new blog is just like this one, except that it takes on the new name and will be the one that gets updated. Goodbye exeterc3.blogspot.com, and hello generationsc3.blogspot.com
See you there!

Worship Operations this Sunday
When Union Church worships together at the Armory, Community 3 groups take turns pitching in to set up, take down, and greet. We're on for Sunday.
This C3 rotation has proven to be a great way to not only get the necessities done, but also build community by working together. If you're planning to be there, please comment here with how you'd like to help. Many hands make light work (and lots of fun).
It's a communion Sunday, Dani is preaching, Renee is the storyteller upstairs, and the back is getting an (easier to setup) upgrade.
Look forward to seeing y'all. See below who's on for what so far, based on email correspondence and comments here.
Set-up - 5 people @8:20
1. Greg
2. Jeanie
3. Leah
4. Ben
5. Mary
Greeter/Offering - 4 people @9:30
1. Deborah
2. Santtu
3. Amy

Tear-down - 6 people till approx 12:30
1. Branches
2. Franklins
3. Wroblewskis

Transition?
Now that we're emerging a bit from the baby fog, I’ve got an idea to tell you (and hopefully get your feedback) about.
Our monthly time at Exeter House continues to go well. Thanks, Jeanie, for stepping in to coordinate and maintain our relationship there. That role is so essential, since it is what allows us to be with the residents, and you do it so well. The new nametags really add a lot, and saying The Lord’s Prayer last time was so beautiful.
It really seems to be a great match all around. Although there are always details to refine in an effort to help us connect with the residents as much as possible, it’s apparent that we’ve entered the open doors at Exeter and the little gem we have in the hymn sing is sustainable.
And now for the idea: What if we morphed our community groups’ name from “Exeter C3” to “Generation to Generation”? There would actually be no immediate change, except the name. What we do every fourth Sunday at Exeter would go on as usual, and those of us who want our C3 involvement to go unchanged, could.
A framework that’s defined by connecting people of different generations would simply be bigger than a framework defined by Exeter House.
Undoubetly, God led us to connect our generation, and our children’s (and I say “our children” here in the big, Family of God sort of way) to that of our friends at Exeter House. As the Holy Spirit continues to awaken us to God’s dream for generations to be in relationship with one another—in other communities of elderly folks, in the neighborhood of South Lake Union, and within Union Church itself—perhaps this larger framework would help us to be ready. Ready to plant a few more mustard seeds.
So, what do you think? Does this idea jive with the way you imagine yourself being a part of Union, and more importantly, the Kingdom of God? Do you see any red flags? Mild concerns? Please do share. As always, we are in this journey together.
