March 6th, 2026

Last Sunday we talked about what it actually means to overcome. Not the kind of victory that comes from trying harder or getting your act together, but the kind that belongs to you simply because of who you belong to. John's argument is that the one who has overcome the world lives in you — and that should absolutely influence how you face your week.

This Sunday we come to the end of John's letter. And the question he's been circling the whole time finally gets named out loud. Can you actually know that you have eternal life? John thinks you can. By the time we're done Sunday, you will too.

See you then.

It's time to begin thinking of spring & summer grounds keeping around the church. We're looking for a few lawnmowing people to be on a rotating schedule (hopefully once every two months). Talk to Randy Sparks on Sunday or call him at 541-705-7326.

Last Days of Jesus Pageant

The pageant is a month away and we are in need of Crowd/Mob at the Trial/Crucifixion scenes Sunday, March 8th, 2pm at the Wasco County Courthouse. Crowd mobs are crucial to these scenes and knowing when and what to yell makes it real for people coming to experience the pageant.

We need strong folks to help with props for practices and performances. Do you know how to run the spot lights? Please show up if you are able to help or contact Jennifer and Joyce at 541-296-3391. Thank you!
