Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009 was a day of Celebration at Forest Grove!   We celebrated the Resurrection of Christ in music, scripture and meditation.  We celebrated baptism, confirmation, reception of new members and Communion.  Rev Dr James Lepard received congratulations from the congregation after successfully defending his Thesis and, with that, completing of his Doctor of Ministry in Preaching degree.  His Graduation service will be May 16th in Chicago.  After receiving a basket of flowers to plant in his garden, Rev Dr James began a three month sabbatical followed by his vacation and we look forward to his return on September 1, 2009 after a period of rejuvenation and renewal. 

Forest Grove United Church is a Christian Spiritual Community that values all ages and stages of life and inquiry. Adults in our community share their gifts in many ways including offering leadership in our children's ministry. 

Children are welcome in worship! and they look forward to the moment Robbie or Lin our resident theological dragons pays them a visit. 

For our littlest people there is a nursery that is supervised. In addition to our nursery there is an opportunity for young folks to explore their faith with others during the worship service with the assistance of adult leaders.

Forest Grove also offers opportunity for youngster's to participate in worship through music and drama throughout the year
