Thanks to the First Congregational volunteers who joined a team of NWYS staff and youth for a great BBQ on Thursday, September 15.  It was a great way for church folks and youth to get to know each other a bit, plus just have a great celebration with food, games and face painting!

Please join me in welcoming the Rev. Dr. Courtney Stange-Tregear as our Acting Conference Minister!

Courtney has served in the Pacific Northwest Conference for the past six years as Minister for Church Vitality, and previously served as Acting Conference Minister during the Rev. Mike Denton’s sabbatical.

When you see someone in crisis, how do you respond?  What are some good ways to build relationships with people experiencing homelessness? How do I find out what's actually helpful?

This message is from Ted about the small groups for fall.

A special message from Susan Huffman, one of our Interim Ministers of Faith Formation about our Gathering In Picnic!

This fall the Thursday night book club is reading, Fortune, How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair it All by Lisa Sharon Harper.

Faith Formation small groups for adults and older youth: All small groups are available to adults and interested youth. Groups will be offered either in a Zoom-only or a hybrid format. Hybrid groups will have the option of participating in person or over Zoom.
