Pastor’s Page

Due to a budget shortfall the Oregon Conference found it necessary to restructure how pastors were assigned to the local churches.  What that meant was that I now am responsible for three area churches.  
They are:
     Eugene
     Junction City
     Santa Clara

My preaching schedule is:
     Eugene – 2nd, 4th, 5th Sabbaths
     Junction City – 1st Sabbath
     Santa Clara – 3rd Sabbath

We are blessed to have a retired pastor (Del Johnson) who preaches on the second Sabbath of the month here at Junction City.   On the third Sabbath another retired pastor (George Mellam) preaches and on the 4th Sabbath a lay-pastor preaches the sermon.

 

  • Election 2024

    In light of the 2024 election results I have one thing to say:   “Praise the Lord!”  … but so that there is no misunderstanding, I will add a clarification.  I am not pleased with who won or who lost the vote.  I am praising the Lord because God is in control of the affairs…

  • Hot Summer Sabbaths

    Hot Summer Sabbaths!   We’ve had some very warm Sabbaths so far this summer.  The church does not have air-conditioning, but thankfully, the Fellowship Hall does.   When the weather is exceptionally warm you will find us having our worship service in Fellowship Hall so that we can be cool and comfortable.  We invite you…

  • Goal met – Church repainted!

    Thank you to all who faithfully gave to our Church Budget account … which enabled us to paint the church this summer.   It looks so nice!

  • Repainting The Church

    We are nearing our goal for funds to be used for repainting the church.  The south and west sides of the church are weathered and badly in need of a new coat of paint to protect the siding.   We are confident that the Lord will bless with sufficient funds in order to have the…

  • Parking Lot Resurface

    This past week our parking lot was resurfaced and restriped.   It looks so nice and clean and it will extend the life of our parking area.   Our next project this summer will be to have our church repainted.   It will be the same color.    There are areas where the existing paint is beginning…

  • First Sabbath of the Month

    Beginning in the month of November I will be preaching at the JC church on the first Sabbath of the month.   On the calendar the change actually began in October but I had to miss the first Sabbath because of my need to be at home to care for my wife who had knee…

  • We Are Small

    My first Sabbath preaching here at the JC church confirmed what I had heard about the church  (I’ve not visited here previously).  It’s a very small congregation! Some might be tempted to judge the quality of the congregation by it’s size – thats ok if you believe that smaller is better.  There are good people here…

  • Pastoral Change

    The J.C. Adventist Church has recently been added to the Eugene Adventist Church to create a two-church district.   I will be at Eugene three Sabbath’s a  month and at J.C. on the fourth Sabbath.  I am looking forward to worshiping with the members of the church in Junction City.
