The Columbia District Church Extension Society (CDCES) funds local church projects. Among those in 2019 were:
Oak Grove UMC - neighborhood project collaboration
Great Spirit UMC - facility renovation to increase opportunities for Native gatherings
Fremont UMC - chairs for the Joyful Noise service
Faith UMC - parsonage renovation for community gatherings
Rose City Park UMC - support for re-imagining mission
By participating in their annual meeting, you can help Westside access financial resources for new ministries, revitalization projects, or capital improvements. Besides all that, each church that is represented by the pastor and at least one member will be entered to win a $500 ministry grant!
The CDCES meeting is Tuesday, Feb 11, at noon at Oak Grove United Methodist Church, 14700 SE Rupert Dr, Oak Grove. Lunch is provided. Let Pastor Brian know if you can attend this free event and register at https://www.umoi.org/eventdetail/13131678.
