EMO Offering: Serve at the Food Pantry

Join Pastor Mike at this service opportunity with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon! Volunteers will be helping at the Northeast Emergency Food Program. NEFP holds indoor, self-serve shopping for its clients and we will be helping serve clients directly. Some positions involve light lifting (up to 20 pounds). Volunteers who can speak even basic Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese or Ukrainian (or Russian) would be very useful. Volunteers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone. 

Sign up with us so we know you are planning to come; in the sign up email, we'll provide links for you to complete required forms and all the details.

Questions? Email Pastor Mike.

EMO Offering: 2026 Collins Lecture

This offering is from our partner, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon.

2026 Collins Lecture: A Conversation on the Separation of Church and Hate
Saturday, June 6 | 7 p.m.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 147 NW 19th Ave., Portland, Ore. (virtual option available)
Tickets $30 (scholarships available)

John Fugelsang is an actor, comedian and host of “Tell Me Everything” on SiriusXM Progress. He is also the author of New York Times bestseller, “Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock-Fleecing Frauds.”

Fugelsang uses humor and biblical scholarship to challenge far-right Christian ideologies, such as Christian nationalism, and argues for a return to the core teachings of Jesus–love, mercy and service. He provides a toolbox for responding to Christian nationalism on the biggest issues that divide us today: immigration, LGBTQIA2S+ rights, poverty, gun safety, feminism, the death penalty, and more.

Fugelsang will be joined for a portion of the event for a conversation and Q&A led by Dr. Jessica Taylor, a strategic executive advisor, ordained minister and founder of Leadership Training Initiative.

If you want to learn directly from John Fugelsang about his approach to using the scripture and Jesus’ teachings to challenge Christian nationalism and authoritarianism, join us at the 2026 Collins Lecture for “A Conversation on the Separation of Church and Hate.”
