This will be a time to explore what it means to be a part of the Presbyterian Church USA and more specifically, this congregation. Get some refreshments and let’s get to know each other as we share our faith together!

Sandwiches and dessert will be provided by the Parish Life and Mission Committee. Participants are invited to bring a side dish. In honor of “Moms,” all are asked to wear or bring something that is a reminder of that special person who was “Mom” or like a Mom. Be prepared to share a story about the item or “style” you bring with you.
May 5 is Apportionment Sunday
Forest Grove Church is a congregation within the Presbyterian Church USA denomination. We are a connectional church which means that we are one body—
not because we find one another agreeable or each other’s views congenial, but because God in grace and mercy has called us together. Our unity does not lie in us. Our unity is Jesus Christ. Together, we are stronger and more able than we are individually. To that end, we support the work of the whole denomination through our apportionment giving. Each active member of the congregation is assessed a dollar amount that is then given to the higher governing bodies – Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly to fund their ongoing work. This assessment is $32/per member. We ask each member to give their fair share, if able. This is over and above pledges. Whatever amount we do not receive from individuals is then taken out of our operating budget. If you are able, please give in next Sunday’s offering or through the church website or by check in the mail.
