Zoar

A 90-minute training to help households, congregations, and neighborhoods to begin preparing together, building resilience rooted in relationships and mutual care.

It's been a few weeks since Christmas, and now that we're catching our breath, we wanted to be sure to share these wonderful photos from Zoar's Christmas program and from our Christmas Eve candlelight service with you. We hope they will bring a smile to your face!

"The Church is a disturbing presence when it refuses to be silent and instead speaks the truth in times when people shout out, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” From For Peace in God’s World, ELCA Social Statement

Thanks to a generous grant from the Oregon Synod of the ELCA, we have replaced our stove/oven in the kitchen. This is an important piece of equipment in the preparation of our weekly Community Dinner which provides about 125+ hot meals each week.

Thank you to everyone that helped provide an Oregon family with one less hurdle in the adoption process.
