As followers of Jesus we are called to care for one another, offering compassion and grace. Below are ways we provide support to those experiencing difficult times. For more information, unless otherwise listed, please contact the Reverend Gregg Neel at 503-287-1289, ext. 114.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministry is the one-to-one lay caring ministry that takes place in congregations that use the Stephen Series system. Stephen Ministry congregations equip and empower lay caregivers—called Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, confidential, Christ-centered care to people who are hurting. To become a Stephen Minister or to have a Stephen Minister help you, contact the Reverend Gregg Neel at 503-287-1289, ext. 114.
Prayer Team
This team is group of trained women and men who meet monthly to pray, and who are available to pray for people and situations as requested.
Hands Together (formerly the Yellow Pages)
A ministry of our Board of Deacons, members in Hands Together (formerly Yellow Pages) bring meals, arrange for rides, and provide other services to those in need. For more information, please contact the Reverend Lindsey Hubbard-Groves at 503-287-1289, ext. 115.
Labyrinth
Periodically in the Great Hall, a beautiful canvas labyrinth is laid out. People come to walk this pathway as a form of spiritual discipline and contemplation. For more information, visit the labyrinth page on our website.
Taizé Service of Healing and Wholeness
Once per month in our sanctuary, we offer a Taizé Service of Healing and Wholeness. Members of the prayer team lead this service. Music is in the Taizé style, and participants are offered the opportunity to receive prayers and light candles. For more information, visit the Taizé page on our website.
