“When the Columbia District Church Extension Society met for its annual meeting last month, we celebrated those congregations that contributed 100% of the CDCES askings—including YOU! We are so very grateful, and we want you to know that your donations help us to administer the funds that allow us to support life-changing ministry across the district. Our projects have included a partnership with an alternative high school, strategizing creative solutions to Portland’s housing crisis, turning an unused parsonage into an intentional communal residence for young adults, and community organizing to support cutting edge ministries beyond the walls of the church building….all of this has been made possible with your help. Thank you!” —CDCES Board of Directors
