Sacred Ground
Outreach
Welcomes You
by Dan and LaRita Lundy
Please join us at our multicultural
ministry on Sundays at 10 a.m. and
Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at the Siletz
Valley Grange hall.
We are a Foursquare Gospel Church
planted here by the Newport Foursquare
Church of Newport, Ore. The thrust of
this ministry is to provide a place where
multicultural worship and teaching can
take place.
We are specifically called to reach out
to the Native American community as
well as the community in general here in
Siletz. Some of the music will reflect the
Native American culture in style while
keeping Jesus in the center of it. Many
of the messages will deal with cultural
issues within the community as well
as worldwide.
Ail cultures are welcome. All races
are welcome. Please feel at ease here.
We don’t want anyone to feel left out
or unwanted. Jesus loves every person
on the face of the earth. His heart is to
reach us where we live in a way that we
can relate to. This is called culturally
relevant ministry.
Relax, join in, and worship the
Creator in your own way. We are open
to dancing, drumming, clapping,
singing, and joyful noises unto the
Lord! If you wish to wear your regalia
to our gatherings, do so!
The Bible is full of stories where
God’s people worshipped with drums,
stringed instruments, rattles, singing,
and dancing. Let’s actively take part in
what God has for us today! You are
welcome here!
