I first met the Master back in the late '80's at a Double Ten event and was quite taken with his "Presence." Palpable energy!

When she told me that, I told her she had the election in the bag! Landslide victory!

Was in the neighbourhood and dropped in for their weekly Saturday night Vespers and "Tabesha"…read moreservice. The church members are relatively few but incredibly hospitable and welcoming. Within minutes you feel like you're already part of the family! There is a warmth about the space. The imposing iconostasis and the sword-wielding St. George on the immense curtain does nothing to intimidate one from sitting in one of the front pews. The space is a good mix of tradition and modernity - clean lines on the walls and a sharp projector screen as a worship aid, despite the beautiful icon and not-mistaking-it-for-not-being-a-church layout. The music is uniquely Coptic. For a Roman with some familiarity with the East, this was still a unique experience and I really enjoyed it. Joining in with the singing during Tabesha comes natural and it's very much okay to not be perfect. I'm also very impressed with the involvement of the little kids in the prayer services. I'd love to see more visitors come for the Saturday night service just as many visitors attend St. Mark's for their Sunday compline. The room is there and the soul yearns for it. Afterwards, there is freshly baked bread in the basement with a cool stamp on it. I hope to be back and encourage all Christians and people of good will to discover this gem of Kirkland.

Recently added Coptic icons decorate front wall and the addition of a dome painting above the main altar bring the worshipers a step closer to heaven. I'd like to see more icons on the walls as they are still bare. Downstairs is the main hall with full commercial kitchen which caters simple meals after the Sunday service. There are enough classrooms downstairs for all services and the entire structure is roomy.

Nichiren Church Serves the best home-made Chow Mein every year for their fundraiser at the end of…read moreSeptember. I've been going to this church since I was a kid and was married here Japanese style with three tiers of sake. My parents were married here too. Recently, the reverend resigned in July. So the members are waiting for another new reverend to start. There's Sunday service in half in English and half Japanese sutras at 10:30am, unless there's a special service like Buddha's Birthday or St. Nichiren's Memorial Service called Oeshiki. I visited the head temple in Ikegami Honmonji Temple in Tokyo, during Oeshiki. It's when a million pilgrims show up and parade up to the temple chanting and beating their hand-held drums. They also carry these large Cherry Blossom lanterns. When St. Nichiren died in Oct. cherry blossoms began to bloom again. He lived in the 13th Century and was a radical in his time and paid the price since the Japanese government tried to execute him. But a storm brewed and legend said, lightning struck the samurai who was to behead him. So they stuck him on a rock in the middle of the sea. He survived another attempt on his life. He also prayed to help defend against the Mongols who wanted to invade Japan. The Mongols ran into stormy seas and wasn't able to take over the country. Later, they exiled him to Sado Island and he was able to teach his disciplines. During services, it's exciting to hear the drums compared to the quiet Zen sect where you will have to medidate for hours. For Nichiren the meditations are for only a few minutes so it's not painful. Every Wednesday, there's a Shodo (calligraphy) Club that meets and the church ladies help out to cook the Beef Bowl for the Seattle Cherry Blossom Festival at Seattle Center. They are the best cooks and members are treated to the best Japanese Bento Box during New Years! But you will need to be a member to get this bento box.

I enjoy services here. Sermons are in English and Japanese. Parking on Weller is sometimes scarce.read more

The only thing the pastor cares about is to make this church a mega church…read more There is no gospel anywhere in the church and all they care about is making the church big and fancy. The church spends too much money on things like decorations, pamphlets, events, take home gifts, calendars, food, drinks just to name a few. Looking at those makes me think that the money should go to missionaries or other poor countries who starve to death. The scale of all of the above is way beyond what we need. This church also makes merchandises and sells them. They allow small group leaders to be just anyone who likes to socialize. They may not know anything about Jesus or the Bible. This church feels like a corporate in many ways.
