On October 4, we will receive the Peacemaking and Global Witness special offering, which aids those whose lives have been disrupted by a disordered and chaotic world. A quarter of the offering is retained by the local church. Our portion will support the Domestic Violence Resource Center in Beaverton. People at risk of domestic violence have found their lives made even more difficult by the pandemic. The increase in stressors and decrease in mobility has made violence in the home more frequent, more severe, and more dangerous. The Domestic Violence Resource Center provides support of many kinds to those affected.
