Newspaper Page TextPage 8A FAITH East Oregonian LIMEY PASTOR Mixing ﬁ re and water, we gather by the river: a prayer S eptember 10 is upon us. I write this several days before with the glow of ﬁ re above and ash sprinkling in spirals around me. At 11 a.m. on Sunday, our friends in Christ will gather at the water’s edge in Boardman at the marina to share a common moment. Consider this your moment. The moment. We want to know each other, know the followers of Jesus, Colin here in Boardman, Brown by the water that Faith reminds us of our baptism. All are invited. You also. You … especially. We will be together this Sunday, one church made of many churches, one God, one son of God, one people united in faith, hope and love. All different, but of the same family. Jesus Christ, our brother, came to draw us all together under the soft blessing of his love. Let us show our hearts to him and pray for his guid- ance in our lives. Let us join together to pray for a world that is rent with suffering. Let us pray for those whose hearts are breaking and broken. Let us pray for those suffering under the afﬂ iction of abnormal weather events, of cities aﬂ oat in water, of oceans in turmoil, of howling winds and tornadoes — of ﬁ res tormenting the hillsides of our gorge and trees burning on mountainsides. Let us pray for all of those broken by poverty and sickness. Let us pray for those unnoticed in sadness and depression. Let us pray for those who do not yet know you. Let us receive your Holy Spirit, Lord, let us receive and rejoice in the Spirit of God. Oh Jesus, like a song, let your call be heard by all the earth. May you who love us, please teach us your way, show us your way and let us walk in the way of love. Let us follow you into your abyss of light and unimaginable love and proclaim the good news to all mankind. Whatever the cost, let us follow you. Let us receive your word of life. Let rise up and walk in your aston- ishing love. Let your gaze be our gaze as we look into each others’ eyes. Joy, Peace and Love abounding. All the days of your life, let us follow you, Lord. Show us the way! ■ Colin Brown is the pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boardman. Friday, September 8, 2017 PENDLETON Wrangling Round-Up worship Two Christian church services planned during rodeo week By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian A pair of faith-based events during Pendleton Round-Up will feature a trio of accomplished rodeo participants. Texas cowboy Corey Ross will present the message during the Round-Up Sunday Community Worship Celebration, and Kenne- wick veterinarian Dick Schoen- berg will share during Tuesday’s Cowboy Church Service. Coordinated by the Pendleton Ministerial Fellowship, the community worship service is Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at Roy Raley Park, 1205 S.W. Court Ave., Pendleton. A free barbecue will be served after the worship service. Those attending are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair. Fresh off a win at the Ellensburg Rodeo, Ross, a steer roper, hails from Liberty Hills, Texas. He’s the founder of the Cowboy Ministries Outreach Center. He’s known throughout the professional rodeo circuit, both as a cowboy preacher and as a competitor. While participating as a professional rodeo athlete is an important part of Ross’ life, he said nothing compares to the rela- tionship he sings and preaches about all across the country. In addition to pioneering several cowboy churches, including the Williamson County Cowboy Church where he’s a pastor, Ross has recorded a couple of albums. Photo contributed by Jaime Ross Corey Ross beat the ﬁ eld in the steer roping average at the El- lensburg Rodeo. The Liberty Hills, Texas, cowboy will share the message during the Sept. 10 Round-Up Sunday Community Worship Celebration at Roy Raley Park in Pendleton. Sponsored by the Blue Moun- tain Christian Cowboys, Schoen- berg and his wife, Jill, will also present special music. Everyone is invited to the cowboy church service, which is Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the South Grandstands at the Pendleton Round-Up Grounds. No stranger to the event, the Schoenbergs have provided special music for the service a handful of times over the past 15 years or so. Both also have participated in rodeo events. Jill is a nine-time Northwest breakaway champion and won at the United States Team Roping Champion- ships in 2004. The couple started a Bible study years ago in their home and then expanded it as a regular cowboy church service — moving it to Schoenberg’s veterinary practice, the Equine Clinic in Kennewick. Called the Watering Hole, Schoenberg regularly provides the message and he and his wife team up for special music, with Dick on guitar and Jill on keyboard. Married for 18 years, Jill, whose maiden name is Rugg, was raised in Heppner. The couple met after Schoenberg’s ﬁ rst wife died of cancer. Active in western lifestyle and rodeo, neither Dick nor Jill were raised in a church. They were introduced to Jesus Christ through others. Now, the couple enjoys sharing their faith — especially through the cowboy ministry. Schoenberg said bringing a faith-based message to cowboys on the road is an important ministry. Providing a worship service right in the grandstands is convenient for cowboys that are constantly on the road traveling to different rodeos throughout the season. “It’s hard to slip off to church during a regular service time,” Schoenberg said. “The idea is to have a service after slack where they could come and re-boot their faith.” For more about Sunday’s worship service, call 541-276- 6350; and for Tuesday’s Cowboy Church Service, call Gloria Rodri- guez at 541-449-3280. ——— Contact Community Editor Tammy Malgesini at tmalgesini@ eastoregonian.com or 541-564- 4539 BRIEFLY Pendleton church hosts ﬁ nancial course Yakima minister to speak at Aglow PENDLETON — A Biblically based money management course is being offered in Pendleton.
