This spring, churches around the conference will host the annual opportunity to 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.
Each meeting will start at 7:00 PM:
April 30 – Southern Oregon – Grants Pass Adventist Church
May 1 – Central Valley – Eugene Adventist Church
May 7– Greater Portland – Sunnyside Adventist Church
May 8 – SW Washington – Meadow Glade Adventist Church
May 14 – Central Oregon – Bend Adventist Church
Mark your calendar and join us starting next week!
