Fathering conference set at
Christian Life Center
Sometimes fathering feels like
an exercise in futility. Being a
Godly father and husband in the
‘90’s is no easy task. It requires
a clear plan and a humble heart.
In reality many wives and
children wait with anticipation for
tender compassionate men to step
forward as shepherd of their
families. In order for that to hap
pen, fathers obviously need
God’s grace, but they also need
solid, practical training.
“ Dad, the Family Shepherd”
conference, will be held Friday,
April 23 from 7-9:30 p.m. and
Saturday, April 24 from 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m. at the Christian Life
Center in Heppner.
The conference reaches
families by equipping men to be
the family shepherd God intends
for them to be. “ You’ll leave this
conference brimming with con
cepts, biblical principles and
helpful tips for family shepherd.
Enough to get you going with
confidence,” said pastor Tim
VanCleave. “ So regardless of
your situation, whether you’re
single, newly married, a father of
four, or a grandparent, this eight
hour conference will impact you
and your family for generations
to come,” he said.
The cost is $28 for pre
registration or $33 at the door.
Everyone will receive a con
ference manual and a “ Quiet
Time” book to help develop a
personal relationship with God.
Those attending should bring a
sack lunch Saturday. There will
be a project to complete during
the lunch break on Saturday.
For more information or to pre-
register call 676-5581. Pre
registration is due by Friday,
April 9, with a $5 deposit fee.

As you read this, it is hoped
that many of you will be enjoy
ing the fragrance of a dozen red
roses, a result of the wonderful
com m unity support o f the
Chamber’s annual “ Everything's
Coming Up Roses” project. This
project enables chamber to keep
from raising dues and to continue
to implement our goals and plan
of work.
Other chamber projects in the
very near future include a visit by
the Rose City Oregon 500 motor
cycle club on May 8. Heppner
has been designated a check
point. The check point, located
on Main Street, will give the
motorcyclers an opportunity to
stretch their legs on Main Street.
There will be approximately
1000. Chamber members will be
on hand to welcome them and
organizations are welcome to
have food booths such as fruit or
cookies. We hope many of the
visitors will take time for lunch
while here. If an organization
wishes to serve lunch for some
let me know immediately so the
information can be included in the
Oregon 500 brochure. More in
next week’s Gazette.
I will be attending a Cycle
Oregon VI meeting in The Dalles
along with the lone entourage
next Tuesday, where we will be
getting all the data on meals.
Heppner will be doing a box
lunch this year and we are look
ing at ways to cut down on local
manpower so that we can offer
our services to lone, as they did
, for us three years ago.
Businesses are encouraged to
get in the spirit of welcoming
visitors by having welcome signs
in their windows and possibly
decorating for a few months in-
the spirit of the Oregon Trail.
If employees wish to follow the
theme and catch the pioneer
spirit, there will be a workshop
offered through the extension ser
vice on how to create authentic
pioneer costumes. What a great
opportunity to showcase our town
when our Oregon Trail and Cy
cle VI visitors come, as well as
during fair and rodeo week. We
need to remember to take time to
play along with our work.
Next week at chamber Rene
Crompton, forest service, will be
doing a program on Eco-Systems.
Thought for the week: “ The
only difference between a rut and
a grave are their dimensions.”
