WHAT: Churches close their doors again
WHERE: Pacific Auditorium
WHEN: Sunday May 31st @ 10:30 am
WHO: LUMA
WHAT: Churches close their doors again
WHERE: Pacific Auditorium
WHEN: Sunday May 31st @ 10:30 am
WHO: LUMA
Contact persons: Pastor Terry Plotz, 271-4414 or Pastor Allen Chaney, 271-3928
Everyone is invited to attend a community wide worship service Sunday May 31st as ten Reedsport churches gather at Pacific Auditorium. The 10:30 am service will feature lots of music from a combined worship team, times of prayer for our city, and a message from Pastor Allen Cheney of Reedsport Church of God.
LUMA is known for its benevolence support for families and its Thanksgiving and Easter services but this event is different. "It is a challenge to get churches to forego their regular services to gather together on a Sunday," states Pastor Terry Plotz, chairman of Reedsport's Lower Umpqua Ministerial Association. "Last year's service brought nearly 400 people together and everyone was thrilled. This year is extra special because our service falls on Pentecost Sunday, the historical day related to the founding of the Christian Church,"
Though there are different worship styles and traditions the churches will be gathering to share their common hope in Jesus Christ. Many area Pastors will be involved in the program; praying, leading readings and helping out where needed.
Following the service, participants will gather in the High School Cafeteria for a massive potluck lunch. "Last years meal was amazing," Pastor Plotz shared. "Church folks make some great food. This will be a great time for the 'Church' in Reedsport to come together!" For more information contact most any church in town or call 271-3928 or 271-4414.

There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people. - Jan Ashford
