Several West Seattle churches have celebrated their 100th anniversaries in the past year; among them, Tibbetts United Methodist Church, whose Rev. Dr. Joanne Carlson Brown is shown in the top photo, shovel in hand, as she and church members worked to help spruce up Lincoln Park earlier this month. All ages pitched in:

Sara Carter shared the photos, explaining, “As part of (our) centennial celebration, we wanted to give back to our community.”

She added, “Tibbetts is proud to have been living the Way of Jesus in West Seattle for 100 years and we’re looking forward to the next 100 years.” They invite anyone interested in finding out more about their church to check them out online at tibbettsumchurch.org; the church is at 3940 41st SW (map). Other West Seattle churches that have recently celebrated their centennials — or are still in the midst of festivities now — include Fauntleroy Church, Alki UCC and Holy Rosary. And by the way, you don’t have to be part of a group to help beautify a West Seattle park – there are work parties every weekend, always listed in our West Seattle Weekend Lineup, and browsable even sooner at greenseattle.org.
