Praying for Constituency Session


This Sunday the Oregon Conference will hold it's quadrennial Constituency Session at Portland Adventist Academy. Please join us in praying for God’s guidance in every decision and comment made. The God who alone knows the future, also knows how to guide His people. As we consider the direction of the Oregon Conference for the next few years, the unified prayers of God’s people are vital. Pray alone, pray with a church friend, call your church family to prayer – whatever you do, pray!
