SMC's Community Ministry - This new ministry
is an outgrowth of SMC's vision for peace and justice
as followers of Jesus Christ. The SMC's Task
Force on Homelessness was established in 2004 to coordinate
a holistic response to the homeless community in the
Lake city neighborhood (where the church is located). In
June we welcomed Melanie and Jonathan Neufeld as community
ministers in this effort.

The Seattle MVS unit is a vital part of Seattle Mennonite
Church. Many of our members first came to Seattle as MVS volunteers

Disaster Service Projects
Hurricane Katrina response: Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) and Mennonite Central Commitee (MCC) are working together to respond to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Please visit their websites for more information on how you might be able to contribute.
Harold Neufeldt has been participating in a number of disaster service projects including:
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT)
Several members of Seattle Mennonite Church have participated in peace making
delegations with CPT.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC)
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is a relief, service, and peace agency of the
North American Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches.
Members of our congregation are busy on a lot of issues from salmon restoration
to ensuring services for the poorest of the poor to ensuring quality education.
It is important to speak up for those who cannot easily speak for themselves
and to protect the environment for future generations. Everyone is encouraged
to learn who their representatives are and to let their voices be heard.
