Last night was the final service of the sessions of Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends. We’re in interesting mix of rural and suburban. We don’t have much that qualifies as urban by its true definition. We worship on Sunday in churches dotted around Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. A couple of places where we have excelled are Christian camping and Christian higher education. More than 100 years ago we founded what is now George Fox University and we had people who saw the value of Christian camping and bought land on the Oregon coast and at Payette Lakes in Idaho. The best thing about our church is not our buildings, meetings, or even our structure. It’s our vision, dreams, passion, and commitment.
