FYI



• 2023 Offering Envelopes are available in the church narthex for pick-up on Sundays or during church office hours.

• Outreach Committee Update: Our mission is to connect and encourage members and friends to be actively involved sharing the love of God in our church and community. We have been tasked with the job of updating the narthex area of our church. Our first walk-throughs were held on 12/7 and 1/4. We look forward to the opportunity to enhance the bulletin boards, messaging center, and other wall spaces to make the space warmer for members, friends and visitors. Stay tuned for exciting updates! While updates are being made, please contact Katie Nelson (503-580-5631) or any member of the committee if you want to add to, move, or change any existing furniture or wall space within the narthex.

-The Outreach Committee: Katie Nelson, chair; Pam Garland, LeAnn Goodenberger,

Marjorie Mattson, and Linda Miller

• The church's alarm system was recently upgraded. The code to the key box outside remains the same, but without the new alarm code, you could trip the alarm and not be able to disarm. Please contact a member of staff or session if you need access to the building.

Pray for



• Keith Chrisman and family at the passing of Elizabeth last week.
