School
Demolition
The Vernonia Logger Dome, home
to many great memories for students,
parents, teachers and school staff, is
finally being demolished. The entire
school campus will be removed this
fall and next spring, making way for a
new city park with soccer fields, a new
baseball field and other public spaces.
The play shed will remain as part of the
new park. Mild fall weather should al-
lowed the demolition work to continue
for at least a few more weeks.

Everyone who is a Believer
in Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior please come and gather with
us to pray for God to move upon our
churches, community, nation and
the lost.
Brothers and Sisters in the
Lord, can we not obey the Lord
and put down what divides us theo-
logically and agree to be in ONE
BODY, ONE MIND AND ONE
SPIRIT in seeking the Lord to heal
our lands? Just as God commands
us to be. If your church doesn’t
meet regularly on Sunday Evening,
please come join with us to PRAY
and seek GOD’S face. Please read 2
Chronicles 7:14 “If I shut up the
heavens so that there is no rain, or if
I command the locust to devour the
land, or if I send pestilence among
My people, and My people who are
called by My name humble them-
selves and pray and seek My face
and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, will
forgive their sin and will heal their
land.”
Pioneer Baptist Fellowship: will
meet at 6:00 PM in the Vernonia
Foursquare Church (850 Madison
Ave.). This schedule will remain in
place through the summer.

Philippians 4:8, 9
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is
[e]lovely, whatever is of good re-
pute, if there is any excellence and
if anything worthy of praise, [f]
dwell on these things. 9 The things
you have learned and received and
heard and seen in me practice these
things, and the God of peace will be
with you.
