meet for conference

By Dan Fricke

PORTLAND, Oregon—Three hundred members and ministers attended the Northwest ministerial conference in Portland June 8 to 10.

The theme was Making Disciples and Good Stewardship. It was a time of worship, inspiration and instruction.

Several of the attendees commented:

The conference contained an amazing richness of love, teaching, encouragement, guidance and correction by God’s Holy Spirit. Pat Settlemire, Vancouver, Washington.

A calm and quiet yet joyful spirit was evident at the conference. Meeting with old friends provided heartwarming fellowship, reassurances and a strengthening of faith. It was an inspiring and motivational weekend with the worship music keeping our focus on God and his eternal purpose. One presenter mentioned that we have survived, and now it’s time to thrive. That has a nice ring to it. Morgan Tovey, Portland, Oregon.

Joseph Tkach explained that becoming friends is our first step to making disciples. Dan Rogers explained the value in observing Easter and Christmas. John Shrewsbury, Seattle, Washington.

Great conference! I’m happy about the changes and the progress being made in the church. Richard Starkey, Portland, Oregon.

To me personally, the communion service was the highlight, a start at breaking down the walls the Holy Spirit had just recently revealed to me. Thank you Lord. Ora Starkey, Portland, Oregon.

The WCG was a little church that always was willing to be led regardless of the consequences. Today that quality still remains the hallmark and legacy of its people. As part of the body of Christ, we are truly richly blessed. W. Corsi and M. Tovey.
