Welcome (Back) Reception
Wednesday, September 9 | 5:00-7:00 pm
All students who are local or in town for residency are invited to an open-house-style reception in the Commons with charcuterie, desserts, alcoholic and nonalcoholic refreshments! Come enjoy informal space to unwind from the day and reconnect as we launch another school year together.

All are invited to an evening service, co-created and hosted by Student Leaders. The time will include student-led music and art, as well as a spoken word telling of the Story of The Seattle School, and lots of space for reflection and connection.
Kind of like a book fair…Celebrating two new books from Seattle School collaborators
Friday, September 11 | 4:15-5:30pm
As a kid, Book Fair Day at school was just the best. If you have ever thought, “We should have an adult Book Fair,” you are in luck!
Friday, September 11, from 4:00 pm till 5:20 pm, we are doing something kind of like a Book Fair to highlight two new books:
Urban Gems: Ministry Perspectives on the Global City and Its People,
& A Verb and Not a Noun: Days of Ash, U2’s Lenten Liturgy
Join us to hear about these two collaborative efforts featuring several Seattle School folks: Joel Kiekintveld (Affiliate Professor); Ron Ruthruff (Professor); Joel Aguilar (Adjunct Professor); Sparrow Etter Carlson (M.Div. Graduate); and Andy Stager (current student).
The event will include hearing from each collaborator, Q&A, and, of course, buying a book (or two) and getting them signed.
As we get closer to September, Student Groups will schedule gatherings during lunches and other free time in the week. Stay tuned!
