Advent Compassion Initiative
Throughout December, we’ll be collecting supplies to create Essential Care Kits for individuals in our community experiencing homelessness. Our goal is to gather 50 of each needed item, offering practical care and tangible support to our neighbors in need.
To make it fun and meaningful, we’ll be setting up a “Compassion Tree” in the Sanctuary. Each ornament on the tree will list a specific item and a small amount needed for the kits. Simply grab an ornament (or a few!), purchase the items, and bring your donation back to place under the tree throughout December. You can drop off your donations anytime at any one of the Sunday worship gatherings.
In January, our church will gather for a fun and meaningful evening to assemble and deliver these kits, sharing the love of Jesus with our community. (More information to come.)
Let’s come together in joyful giving to show God's love for Portland this season!

Join us on Wednesday, December 17th at 6:30 PM in the Youth Basement. And bring a friend along — the more, the merrier!
