Dear friends,

Rhonda and I will be traveling to Italy this Sunday afternoon (following the Annual Meeting) with our daughters and their spouses. We will be out of the country from June 25^th to July 11^th.

While I am gone, Rev. Julia Nielsen (Methodist Deacon, Leaven Land & Housing Coalition) will preach and help lead Zoom worship on July 2^nd and Rev. John Reutter- Harrah (retired Lutheran pastor) will do so on July 9^th. Rev. Rachel Kramer (new pastor at Calvary Lutheran in Hillsboro) will cover any pastoral emergencies while I am out of the country. If you are in need of emergency pastoral care while I am away, simply call the ChristChurch phone number (503-617-9526) and press 4 when prompted. Your call will be redirected to Pastor Rachel’s cell phone.

Peace,

Pastor David

 

 

  

 

Rev. Julia 'Jules' Nielsen serves as an ordained Deacon in the United Methodist Church, where she leads the Leaven Community Land & Housing Coalition, a collective of faith communities learning how to practice sacred organizing and steward their land for the benefit of their neighbors and communities across Oregon.

 

Jules believes deeply in God’s power to embrace, equip, and employ all of God’s children for the work of the Kingdom in whatever context they find themselves and that every person can transform their corner of the world alongside God using their natural gifts of curiosity, compassion, and risk-taking creativity.

She currently lives in SE Portland, Oregon, with her spouse Chris and spends too much time gardening, antiques hunting, and singing karaoke. She will tell you all about her hedgehog Junie if you dare to ask.
