Looking for a non-partisan way to make a difference in the upcoming election? Consider Vote Forward. Volunteers send heartfelt handwritten letters to unregistered and low-propensity voters encouraging them to participate in our democracy. I’m writing some as are some family and friends. It’s a good system and easy to use.

October 4, 2020 is World Communion Sunday. We will celebrate together as a congregation this year after many years of celebrating in two separate locations due to the All Church Retreat. Deacons are encouraging the congregation to participate in “Breads of the World” this year by baking or purchasing special bread for the event. Honor your own ethnic heritage, use a special family recipe, or purchase a favorite bread for Oct. 4. During the Invitation to Discipleship that Sunday, individuals will be asked to show their special bread and explain their personal connection. Contact Sue Lambing at 503-628-1274 or [email protected] to become involved in the project. Sue will also be contacting various congregation members in the coming weeks to line up those who wish to share their stories.
