Evangelism Community Sabbath and Luncheon: July 12

The designated monthly Evangelism Community Sabbath falls on the second Saturday of the month, and this special occasion provides a unique opportunity for us to invite non-church people from the local community including our friends, neighbors, and family members to experience Adventist worship and fellowship together with us. Reach out this week to someone you are connected with on a regular basis and invite them to church next Sabbath, and remember to bring a plate of food to share with our guests.

 

Discipleship Training: July 19

The church leadership is committed to equipping and empowering church members for ministry. Our next discipleship training is scheduled for Saturday, July 19 during the regular Sabbath School time (9:30 10:45 am),
and this would involve the youth and adult classes only. Pastor Puni will engage participants during the workshop on a learning process that will help us, disciples of Jesus, to identify our spiritual gifts. This is a training not to be missed, and we look forward to seeing many of us attending this equipping workshop.

 

Selecting Committee: July 19

With the Rockwood church year starting in October, the Body, baptized members of our faith community will select a “selecting committee” Sabbath morning, July 19th before the start of the discipleship workshop and training. The primary task of the selecting committee is to nominate to the church a “nominating committee” that will be responsible for nominating church personnel to lead the different ministries of the church for the next 12 months from October onwards.

PACS Mobile Food Pantry: July 14

The mobile food pantry serviced by volunteers from our church will be serving the local community from 4-6pm at the Rockwood Building (124 NE 181st Ave) this Monday, July 14th. If you or someone you know needs assistance with food, please come to this address. If you have questions and/or want to volunteer with the mobile food pantry, please contact Kamille Ross. For persons who brought food items today in response to the appeal last Sabbath, thank you.

 

Snack Shack Help: Gladstone Camp Meeting

Pathfinders are looking for a few willing and able adults to help in the Snack Shack during Oregon Conference camp meeting (July 22-26).

Camp Meeting 2025: July 22-26

The Oregon Conference annual camp meeting at Gladstone provides opportunities for church members from across the Conference and guests from out of State to meet for Christian fellowship, Bible study, equipping, resourcing, encouragement, and inspiration. Pastor Ty Gibson as speaker and the King’s Heralds are among the many invited guests who will attend this year’s camp meeting.

Keep the Faith - Worship and Concert: August 15

With the church being closed August 16 (Outdoors Sabbath), we are providing a special worship experience for the whole family with David Konstantopoulos – That Flute Guy – on the Friday, August 15 at 7 pm. You will be blessed with testimonies of God’s provision and protection while listening to gospel classics/hymns on the flute. Opportunity to purchase CDs will be made available before the concert, and a “love offering” will be collected in support of the ministry of “Compassion International.”

 

Outdoors Sabbath: August 16

The first Sabbath celebration and communal worship in the Bible was in the outdoors (Garden of Eden); and with the warm summer weather still with us in August, we are now inviting the church to mark this Sabbath appointment in your calendars. We have booked our space at Oxbow Regional Park and have asked the Youth Ministry to plan this Sabbath worship and fellowship for us. More information on this plan to be shared later.

 

Background Check

We kindly ask that anyone serving in a position that involves working with children contact our church secretary to begin the background check process, if you have not already done so. This is an important step in
ensuring a safe and secure environment for all of our children. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to their well-being.
