Join us in person or Zoom!
As we celebrate Earth Day we will reflect on our relationship and responsibility to this earth, as we delve into what this means for how we live on this planet. The choir will perform Creation is a Song, and I am Willing by Holly Near. We will also plant seeds.
Please be sure to bring something from the natural world to place on the altar. This might be a rock, feather, leaf, stick, flower, shell etc. Whatever speaks to your heart.

Camera Free Zone and Service Videos
As you may know, we make a video recording of every Sunday's service on Zoom. Have you wondered what happens to those videos? We have made one sampler video which includes short clips from services from the past year, which we will put on the "for visitor's" page of the website so they can see what a service is like before they attend. Other that, we generally don't do anything with the video recordings. We do use the audio recordings to produce our podcast (find episodes at https://northlakeuu.org/podcast) - for those we typically edit them down to just the sermon. So, most of the videos aren't used. However, if you want to be sure you don't appear on camera for Zoom sessions or on recordings, just stay in the camera free zone under the balcony. If you have any questions, ask the tech team!

EIM: Teachings from Anam Thubten
Thursday, May 2nd
7pm
In Seattle and online
Rather than practice together in Kirkland as usual, on May 2 Eastside insight Meditation will instead be joining Seattle Insight Meditation Society in Seattle to hear teachings from Tibetan Teacher Anam Thubten. He is quite an extraordinary being, so it's worth crossing the lake for this event.
You can join in person or online, click here for the link.
