Greetings!
This Sunday is the first in Lent,
a time to meditate on the suffering and death of Christ, but also a time to reflect upon our own walk of faith. Along with the upcoming Sunday information in today's newsletter, you'll find updates on all the Lenten activities throughout these 40 days. Thanks for keeping up with the latest here at Our Savior's.

It is with sadness that I inform you that our good friend, Cliff Hamlow passed away Tuesday afternoon this week. Cliff now rests in the nearer presence of the Lord, becoming part of that great cloud of witnesses. I solicit your prayers for Kathy and their children, as well as all the members of Cliff’s extended family.
There will be a graveside service at Willamette National Cemetary on Thursday, February 22, at 1:30 p.m. If you plan to attend please arrive 15 minutes early for instructions to proceed from the cemetary offices to the gravesite.
I’m truly honored to have known Cliff. As I said Sunday to Cliff’s family and various medical personnel, Cliff was truly one of the good guys. We will all miss him.
With faith in Him who overcame the grave and promised us abundant life,

From the Foundation -
Oregon Advance Directives
|
Here are some highlights from a presentation on Oregon Advance Directives sponsored by the Foundation a couple of years ago. There are two purposes for the Advance Directive:
1.To appoint a Health Care Agent - The role of the agent is mandated by the Oregon Legislature and may be modified at any time.
2.To instruct the Health Care Agent on the type of care you desire - Instructions will cover whether to have tube feeding or not and whether to be put on life support. You may also indicate limits to the care, whether the decision is to be solely the responsibility of the Health Care Agent or include your Doctor’s input.
An Oregon Advance Directive is used for in-patient care when you are admitted to a hospital. It is not for use by EMT/Paramedics that may be called to an emergency. The Directive needs to be witnessed when filling it out. Witnesses should include at least one person who is not a family member. Advance Directive forms are available from various web sites or from your attorney.
