Youth Weekend Blesses Young and Old
with Community Project
In Eugene, a youth worship event expanded to help meet the needs of a community member after organizers learned of an individual whose property had been damaged during a recent ice storm.
“Cheryel Whitsell has been a part of the Springfield community for some time and teaches Primary Sabbath School,” shared Wyatt Johnson, a young adult serving as one of the youth leaders at the Springfield Adventist Church. “During the ice storm, several large tree limbs fell on her house, in her yard, and across her landscaping, but she could not have them cleared due to age and finances. Pastor Lutz Binus had made announcements via email after our youth team expressed that we wanted to incorporate a service project into the Eugene Teen Weekend. We were careful to select a service activity that would actually help someone in need, not just make ourselves feel useful. The ice storm damage was a great opportunity for us to really help.” Keep reading...

Together in Mission Town Halls Start April 2
This spring, churches around the conference will host the annual opportunity to worship and connect as a broader church with our Together in Mission town hall meetings. Every member is invited to participate in a gathering near them to experience the blessing of connecting with members from neighboring churches and with conference leaders. “Together in Mission” is a reminder that while we live, work, and worship in communities all across the Oregon Conference territory, we all share a common spiritual identity: children of God looking forward to Jesus’ soon return.
Our Together in Mission town hall meetings happen at 7:00 PM:
April 2 – Southern Oregon – Grants Pass Adventist Church
April 3 – Central Valley – Eugene Adventist Church
April 9 – SW Washington – Meadow Glade Adventist Church
April 11 – Greater Portland – Sunnyside Adventist Church
April 30 – Central Oregon – Bend Adventist Church
Mark calendars and plan to join in a “Together in Mission” town hall near you.
