As 2020 begins, the Oregon Conference welcomes two new members to the team.

Over 300 people gathered on Sabbath, December 14 to celebrate the organization of Dom Mira (House of Peace) Russian-speaking Seventh-day Adventist Congregation as a company.

Each of the learning centers was staffed by trained volunteers who led the 50 kids and their families through a couple interactive games related to their area of health.

This Life and Health Network clinic, sponsored by Robert Burnette and put on in conjunction with Caring Hands Worldwide and The Daniel Miguel Foundation, was held on two very cold and rainy days, November 23 and 24, at the Lane County Fairgrounds. 255 dental patients, 159 vision patients, and 10 medical-only patients were served. Seventy-seven flu vaccines shots were given. Many patients also received professional photos and massages during the event.

This month, the Oregon Conference says goodbye to two department coordinators.

“We served 1,794 patients in the last year,” said executive director Sue Neal, “and this income will make it possible for us to serve even more in the coming year.”

Portland Adventist Community Services (PACS) announced earlier this week that Laura Pascoe has accepted an offer to become the next executive director of the organization.

October 17-19, Northwest communication students and professionals received national recognition at the annual Society of Adventist Communicators convention.
