ShareLive on Sunday: Puget Sound churches celebrate God and the Seahawks
Posted by Tiffany Campbell
Around the Puget Sound this morning, Seahawks fans gathered in all sorts of places to watch the game and tailgate. Including their usual places of Sunday worship.
Here's the scene from Eastlake Community Church in Bothell this morning, where Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck attends Sunday services.

Seattle Times reporter Sanjay Bhatt is there this morning, live tweeting the tailgate church service.
Seattle Times reporter Sonia Krishnan checked in on the event earlier this week, when she talked to Pastor Ryan Meeks.
"The church is the last place in the world where you'd expect to find people happy or excited or partying," Meeks said. "But why do we have to be so separate from what's happening in our culture? You should celebrate when cool things happen in your community."
