In June we called our church to gather to share an important update regarding Pastor Denise’s upcoming transition when she becomes Experience Vineyard’s new Executive Pastor (Please click here to read the email we shared with our church in June). 

During those meetings we shared our journey of discernment and created space for Q&A. Those moments were a beautiful mixture of sadness because our time with Pastor Denise will be ending soon, but there was also a sense of joy as we celebrate her obedience to the call of God. Our focus since those meetings has been to express our love and appreciation for Pastor Denise for her 10+ years of faithful leadership. 

In August we want to call the church together to begin to discuss our next steps to bring stability to our church in the days ahead, talk about the culture we have created at Hope Astoria and begin to look toward our future as a church. 

We hope you can join us for either one of these meetings (the same information will be covered in both): 

• Wednesday August 6th at 8pm (using this zoom link) 

• Sunday August 10th at 1:45pm (in person in the lounge, pizza served)
