They’ve been hard at work this past year working on helpful resources for clergy and churches, including new tools for clergy compensation.

There have been many opportunities to show up in support of our queer beloved ones. They need to know we see them and stand with them. We’ve kept an updated schedule and here are a couple of remaining events along with some pics from Portland Pride!

Whether you’re a delegate, visitor, or volunteer, General Synod 35 is your time to connect, reflect, and grow in faith and action. Let’s come together to make General Synod 35 a transformative moment for our church and communities!

If you’re not planning to attend in person, you’ll still be able to join many parts of the five-day gathering online, so please consider tuning in virtually.

At N-Sid-Sen and Pilgrim Firs, kids (and adults) can be kids and get dirty, have fun, and make memories that last a lifetime! Camp is about connecting face to face with cabin mates and caring leaders. Camp is a safe place to try new things, learn about God, and grow as a person. Camp is a place to laugh, sing, play and pray together!

The Local Church Ministry Team will be hosting a swap meet on July 8th at 6p Pacific via Zoom.

I have some hard news about the Camp Adams 2025 camping season: We have been advised by the County Health Inspector to stop using any of our buildings at Camp Adams until we can have mold inspections and remediation work done. This means we have to cancel Summer Camp, and may not be able to accommodate churches in the fall.

The world needs you to be the church now more than ever – and you never know who might see your bravery and join with you in the struggle for love and justice.

A service for Karl Vercouteren will be held Saturday, June 7th at 1:30pm.

Think ahead and find out about Juneteenth celebrations in your community so that you can support, advertise, and show up for these events. Maybe even sponsor a booth or gather volunteers!

As Pride gatherings throughout the cities of our conference begin to be scheduled, there will be many opportunities to show up in support of our queer beloved ones. They need to know we see them and stand with them

Camp Adams Executive Director, Natalie Lucker, and I are aware of the challenges some of you have had communicating with Camp Adams.

Pocatello UCC is hosting a Farewell Service on Thursday May 15 at 6pm. This will be part worship, part storytelling, and all Celebration.

Please update your records with our new mailing address!

Camp registration for summer at Camp Adams is in full swing! Register for camp by Friday, May 2nd to take advantage of Early Bird pricing

Join us on April 30th from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM for a Zoom Listening Session. The mission of the Local Church Ministry (LCM) is to encourage and support local churches in becoming vital, inclusive congregations where children, youth, and adults experience a strong sense of mission, unity, nurture, and justice.

Yes, please take action. Do it in whatever way you’re called to act. Bring as many people as you can with you through this valley of the shadow of death to the green pastures on the other side, and make each moment a referendum for the future you want sixty or a hundred years from now.

The Central Pacific and Pacific Northwest Conferences of the UCC are hiring a part-time position to effectively support the ministry of the Conferences with particular emphasis on support of the Committee on Ministry of the CPC and PNC and their important work with the authorization, support, and oversight of ministers.

As many of you already know, our Administrative Assistant, Debbie Jacober, will be retiring at the end of April. She has ministered among us for forty-four years, and we want to give her a good send-off!
