Worship On Sundays

Hagg Lake on July 13

On Sunday, July 13, we’ll have our annual worship service at the lake! Service begins at 11:00 am to give you time to drive out.

You will need a parking pass ($7 per car), available at the Fee Booth (or automated machine when the booth is unattended) or at the Lake Stop store. Senior (55+) and veteran passes are $5 each at the fee booth and store.

After the service, there will be baptisms in the lake and the events team will provide a main entree for lunch. RSVP - and sign up to bring sides - at https://westsidejourney.breezechms.com/form/HaggLunch2478

Email the church office if you would like to be baptized (or renew your baptism.)

See you at the lake!

Pastoral Care

Just a reminder that Pastor Brett is on a ‘study and spiritual growth leave’ for the next four to five weeks.

Rev Brian Shimer will be handling emergency pastoral care until Pastor Brett returns. You may contact him at brian@brianshimer.com or 503-522-1426. Brian will also bring the message on Sunday mornings on June 15 and 22.

Prayer of St. Augustine

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.

Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.

Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.

Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.

Pentecost!

This Sunday, June 8, is Pentecost.

Pentecost marks the day the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus, empowering them to preach the gospel. It's celebrated on the 7th Sunday after Easter, symbolizing the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit.

Join us at 10:00 am as Rev Brian Shimer brings the message, "What are you expecting God to do?"
