No Need for Signups
Our first weekend of gathering again for worship here at Evergreen Bible Church was June 13-14 and we were concerned about being able to stay under our 50-person limit. Since then the limit has been raised to 85 people per service and will go even higher when Clark County is approved for Phase 3. The […]

This looks to be the warmest week of the year so far and so I began my day here at the church watering. The soggy spring has been good for the foliage, but even one week of heat without sufficient water can really stress some of the vulnerable plants. The bursting bouquets in the planter boxes certainly […]

The breaking news on June 5 was that Clark County officially moved to Phase 2 in Washington state’s reopening plan. After three long months we would finally be able to gather for worship again!

“When are we going to start having church again?” That is the number one question I hear these days. Many are ready to start immediately, regardless the Governor’s orders, while others feel strongly we must wait for the all-clear to be sounded. The Leadership Team (LT) met a week ago to discuss what God would […]

I am still astonished at the way coronavirus seemingly came out of nowhere and blew a hole in our boat, the good ship Evergreen. On the first weekend in March we were acknowledging this viral threat seemed to be a legitimate threat and then six days later we canceled all onsite gatherings until further notice. […]

I don’t really know what to say. I’m very sobered by what I’m supposed to write about today so I apologize in advance: I just did a little research into it and I have a slight headache and upset stomach. I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around the fact that according to the […]
