Russian Congregation Celebrates Company Status
On Sabbath, December 17th, the Grace Seventh-day Adventist Russian congregation in Troutdale celebrated its official organization into “company” status––the final step before being organized as a “church.” The history of the Grace church, according to a pamphlet provided at the service, intertwines with the latest wave of Slavic emigration to the United States in 2020. The growing Slavic church, Living Word, in the Portland/Vancouver area had reached over 400 members, and a group of 49 adults, nine youth, and 13 children from the Gresham/Troutdale area offered to organize a church closer to home.

Why You Need to Understand AEDs and CPR
Millions of people watched in horror as a Buffalo Bills player, Damar Hamlin, collapsed on the field during an NFL game on Monday. Soon medical personnel were performing CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) to restore a normal heartbeat. Hamlin was transported to a nearby hospital.
Each year, more than 350,000 Americans suffer cardiac arrest outside of the hospital — and rarely with an entire medical team on the nearby sideline. Sadly, 90% of them don’t survive.
If someone near you goes into cardiac arrest, they probably won’t have a medical team nearby. By taking time to learn hands-only CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator, you can make a lifesaving difference.
Here are things to learn now about CPR and AEDs to be ready in an emergency...
