The weeds are growing! Help us spread bark chips and beautify the Evergreen landscape on the corner of Hall and Hart! 10,000+ cars go by daily and what they see of our church is our lovely grounds.

Perhaps you have thought of evangelism as a sprint – in a few seconds you have to share the whole gospel with a person. On Saturday, May 26 at 10:30 a.m. Pastors Nathan and Keith are coaching the steps of evangelism using the metaphor of a hurdles race, taking one hurdle at a time. The workshop begins by identifying low hurdles, initial steps in prayer, building relationships, inviting people to hear and see the gospel in action. The high hurdles are mastering all the biblical presentations of the gospel, assessing the spiritual condition of a neighbor, and appropriately asking questions and supplying answers in substantive conversation. Join the team at Evergreen! Identify one hurdle to overcome in evangelism – after all, it is God who saves! The track and field belong to him. The workshop culminates at noon with the grills hot, the sharing of burgers and hotdogs – the Costco method of Evangelism.
Evergreen is calling Jason Dalton of Jackson, MS to serve Hoodland Chapel on Mt. Hood. This May Jason, along with his wife Elizabeth and their children are moving to Mt. Hood. Jason earned a Master of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson and with Elizabeth has served with Campus Crusade for Christ in East Asia. The Daltons have been members of Pear Orchard PCA near Jackson. Jason is an effective and humble preacher of the gospel with plans to organize a congregation on the mountain. He is devoted to the ministry of the word and prayer. You are welcome to join us at his ordination and installation service on Sunday, May 20 at 2p.m.
Jason’s pastor, Timothy Dryden currently serving as the assistant pastor at Pear Orchard Presbyterian Church in Jackson, MS will preach the ordination sermon.
