Pilgrim Lutheran Church

There's still time to register for next Saturday's emergency preparedness workshop!
Meet your neighbors! Get ideas, handouts, giveaways, and snacks!

Presentation of the State of Oregon preparedness framework from 1:15 - 2:45 will also be available on Zoom.
Please register to attend in person or on Zoom. Last minute drop-ins might be possible, but registration helps assure there will be workshop materials for everyone.

Note: This is being held at a church, but is >not< a religious event. It's all about neighbors helping neighbors learn how to cope with emergencies of all kinds - earthquakes, power outages, wildfire evacuations, ice storms, etc.

We'll have another Mini-Housing Fair and Resource Share in the parking lot on Saturday, 5/21/2022, from 2-4 pm.
Whether you are in a house, an apartment, or unhoused, the housing presenters may have information >you< can use.

Oh, and there will be snacks!

You could come by just to say, Hi, too!

Just as a reminder, the Pilgrim Lutheran Church building is closed to all use by all groups. There have been no worship, community dinners, or events by our congregation or any of the groups that have used the building in the past. We had to take this step in mid-March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We miss our neighbors and hope to open our doors again once it's safe.
