The most recent edition of Seattle Metropolitan listed Mars Hill Church among its “Wash-In” items for the month of May—right after downtown strippers and right before Super Mario. We’ll take that as a compliment, I suppose. In any case, the text-message phenomenon continues. Incidentally, the same issue also named Ballard the city’s #1 “Hot Hood.”

Also recently, a theology blog called Parchment and Pen posted a new interview with Pastor Mark about Vintage Jesus and the presence of Jesus in our culture today.
