A story about the raft for Harbor Seal pups our congregation built  and launched in Puget Sound last summer is being told in the April 2015 edition of our national ELCA magazine, THE LUTHERAN.  Follow this LINK to read the article and read about other ways ELCA ministries are working to be Earthkeepers.

In the photo at left, Pastor Erik Kindem (blue Kayak), Brenda Peterson of SealSitters.org, and her neighbor Sean Seuk bless the raft, which serves as a safe haven and resting place for new born and newly weaned seal pups while seal mothers are out gathering food.  Seals have been spotted on the raft almost daily.

The photo on the right by Robin Lindsey (c) 2015, was taken in July 2015, after we redeployed the raft once repairs were complete.
