Red Cross Blood Drive

The Red Cross will be holding a blood drive in our Lighthouse building on Wednesday, August 31, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. There are one or two spots available every 15 minutes. You can sign up here

The community is invited to take part in this special event and donate blood for hospital patients in our neighborhoods and across the nation. The need for blood is constant, but only 3 percent of the U.S. population donates. By rolling up a sleeve, donors can play a critical role in the treatment of accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

To make an appointment or to learn more, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Those who donate in August will receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice and be entered to win free gasoline for a year. Sign up today!

WFWA School Supplies Drive

A message from Merry G:

Western Farm Workers Association has their latest newspaper out, so please take one from the greeting table in the Sanctuary building.

We are collecting school supplies for our members' children. The sorting and distribution will be on August 27th. Every child will receive a backpack with as many of the required items as we are able to provide, according to the list for each class.

Items can be dropped off at the church, or call Merry Goldthorpe to pick them up from your home or office. My home number is 503-690-1908, and my cell is 503-840-7410. Pick up a few items when you are out shopping, and help these kids get a good start to the year. I appreciate your support and thank you.

Questions? Call me, or our office 503-681-9399

Backpacks for teenagers are particularly needed; see the complete list of supplies in the entryway at church.

Is Hospitality Your Spiritual Gift?

Our hospitality team is looking for a few more members.

This group is responsible for preparing beverages and snacks for Sunday morning worship. A rotating schedule, prepared by the team leader, ensures that there’s always coffee available (yes!) and that everyone on the team gets a Sunday off when desired.

Contact Pastor Brett or the church office to be a part of this vital team.
