What a joy it is to be at Orchards UMC!

Last Sunday, July 4th, was wonderful to worship with all of you on Zoom and in person. Thank you again to everyone who has stepped up to guest preach as our transition over the month of July takes place.

Thank you to Lorrie Schnabler for a wonderful sermon about how God's work can happen through us when we are ready to say yes. I look forward to hearing about Jay Kitchin's guest preaching on July 18th!

I plan on reaching out with phone calls over the next few weeks, so do not be too alarmed by my 541 area code. I promise I'm not a scam. And if you want to reach out to me, my cell number is (541) 543- 3671.

In case you were wondering, where is Pastor Jessie? Here's a rundown of the month of July, just to keep you in the loop:

July 1-11th: Thomas and I are house-sitting for my parents in Salem, OR, and commuting to Vancouver.

July 12-21st: We are going to Anchorage, AK, to spend time with family and completing the co-guardianship process for Thomas's twin brother, JD.

July 22nd -onward: We are in Vancouver! YAY!

Peace and Blessings to You,

Pastor Jessie

As we return to in person church and restrictions lifting, I’m wondering if who is interested in starting up an adult study program this fall?

If there is interest please let me know what kind of material we want to cover. In the past it’s been a wide variety of progressive and traditional teachings. Usually video format without reading homework.

The new shirts will be Royal Blue in a 50/50 blend so they should stay true to size. They are available in youth and adult sizes. The prices will be $13 - Youth; $16 - Adult and $18 for 2XL & Up or Tall sizes.

There are Clipboards in the Narthex with order sheets as well as size charts if you have questions. You can also email me your order - Sizes and # ordering.

I need orders no later than July 12th so that the order can be placed. We are using a different company this time - Excel Designs - that is located one street over from the church. They have been awesome to work with thus far and are a family run business from our church community.

Please email pastorjessieconnor@gmail.com with your recommendations- and if you want to join me for a cuppa!
