Oregon Conference Pathfinders Celebrate
In-Person Fair in Sisters, Oregon


After three years of not being able to meet together for our end-of-year Pathfinder Fair, the Oregon Pathfinders were able to come together in-person at Three Sisters Adventist School in Bend, Oregon. Over 350 pathfinders and staff gathered on Sunday, May 15 under the central Oregon sunny skies with a backdrop of a picturesque mountainous view to the west and were able to joyfully celebrate and recognize various accomplishments from this past year and demonstrate various skills learned.

Impact Your Health PDX 2022 Needs Student Backpacks!
Most school districts now give the students the supplies they need for school, but the family is expected to supply a backpack. We would like to help fill that need! Impact Your Health served over a hundred families with school supplies a couple of years ago. At our July 8 & 10, 2022 clinic, we would like for any child who cannot afford a backpack to be able to receive one. Donations of a backpack, or of money to purchase backpacks, are most appreciated. We'll need small, medium, and large sizes. You may drop the backpacks off at the Oregon Conference Office at 19800 Oatfield Road in Gladstone, Ore., Hood View Adventist Church at 26775 SE Kelso Road in Boring, Ore., or at Portland Adventist Academy at 1500 SE 96th Avenue in Portland, Ore.
