On Friday, October 4th, the North Pacific Union President and the Oregon Conference Executive Committee extended the invitation to Elder Don Livesay to serve as Interim President of the Oregon Conference, which he accepted, effective immediately.
Livesay will provide presidential leadership as the Oregon Conference enters its fourth quarter of the year and begins preparing its budget for 2025. Livesay’s interim service will also allow the Oregon Conference search committee, which is comprised of all Oregon Conference executive committee and constituency nominating committee members, time to continue their thorough search and to seek the Lord’s leading for the next conference president.
Church in the age of digital communication faces a dilemma – how to engage with the public when you’re short on time, money, and volunteers. Thankfully, creating engaging online stories and great looking media is more affordable and easier than it used to be.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, a special time to honor and support the dedicated individuals who serve as our pastors. Our pastors pour out their hearts in leading, serving, and praying for us. This month offers the opportunity to show our gratitude and love for all they do!
