Reopening Survey
If you haven't already, please take this short, 6-question survey to help our church leadership as we make decisions about reopening. As mentioned on our COVID Response webpage, we are eager to meet together as soon as possible and are balancing "meeting together" (Heb. 10:25), caring for "the least of these" in our faith community (Mt. 25:40), and respect for government authorities (Rom. 13:1). We will use the survey results as well as the County "risk level" rating, advice from our COVID Task Force, and other input to make a final decision.

This Summer - Lebanon Medical Teams
June 23 - July 11, 2021
This summer Village plans to send a medical and dental team to the country of Lebanon at the request of our Lebanese ministry partners. As you know, this past year Lebanon has not only endured the COVID crisis, but a humanitarian disaster as a result of the massive port explosion, and an economic collapse in which the Lebanese lira lost 80% of its value. Our medical and dental professionals are going to help provide care for the most vulnerable as Lebanon’s strained medical system continues to focus mainly on COVID issues. Our team plans to travel June 23 – July 11. If you have a professional medical or dental background, we need your help. Please consider joining this special team!

Condolences
We express our love and prayers for Dale and Martha Himes in the homegoing of her uncle, Glen Lamb, for whom she was the primary caregiver. Glen lived in an adult care home in Beaverton the last couple of years and was on hospice care when he peacefully made the journey home to be with the Lord Wednesday morning, March 3.
