“These things I remember. . . how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise” (Psalm 42:4). We are eagerly inviting all in the NOW District to join us for the District President Installation Service taking place on Sunday, May 26, at 7 p.m. at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Portland (6700 N 29th Ave., Portland, OR 97211), with an informal dessert reception to follow.
