COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2019 ‘I Love My City’ serves Hermiston Two-day event features cleanup eff ort, church service By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR The “I Love My City” campaign is gearing up for a work day and a combined community worship service. The two-day event will feature nine area churches and the Columbia Basin Board of Realtors. Rev. Terry Haight of Hermiston Assembly of God Church is excited about the increased involvement of the faith- based community. “They are jumping on board with it,” Haight said. “Also, I know there are other groups that inde- pendently approach and do things with the city.” As summer turned to fall in 2016, members of Herm- iston Assembly fi rst orga- nized the initiative. Donning red T-shirts emblazoned with “I Love My City,” about 70 volunteers spread out across the city to be of service to others.

A season of change sprouted as church parish- ioners sought ways to pro- mote healing in the commu- nity after several tragedies. The idea, Haight said, was to spread God’s love through simple and practi- cal ways. A spring cleanup effort will take place 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. Peo- Sunday at 10 a.m. at East- ern Oregon Trade and Event Center, 1705 Airport Road, Hermiston. The faith-based community will gather and worship as one body of believers, Haight said. Childcare will be provided for kids up to age 5. Chil- dren 6 and over are encour- aged to sit with their fami- lies during the service. “It’s a bi-lingual ser- vice with various pastors. We try to get as many peo- ple involved as possible,” ple who aren’t connected to a specifi c church that’s involved can register at www.ilovehermiston.com or meet at McKenzie Park for instructions and work crew assignments.

BRIEFS Conversation Project explores LGBTQ inclusion The Oregon Humanities Conversation Project is team- ing up with Blue Mountain Community College as part of the Arts & Culture Series. The Conversation Project encourages discussions about important ideas and issues. Trained facilitators will challenge participants to think in new ways — without pushing specifi c agendas or focusing on arriving at a con- sensus. The goal is to have an interactive dialogue. The upcoming program features Jillian Winsor, who will lead the discussion titled, “Where are Queer Peo- ple Welcome?” The free event is at noon on Monday at BMCC, 980 S.E. Columbia Drive, Hermiston. The room is to be announced. The discussion will explore how the queer community intersects with the spaces and communities that surround us.

Founded in Janu- ary 2018, the six-mem- ber group has performed Haight said. “It’s a relation- ship-building opportunity among the churches.” Since the initial “I Love My City” event, nearly a dozen churches have joined the effort. The idea is to organize community ser- vice activities several times a year — everything from cleanup efforts and car washes to gift-wrapping and children’s activities. Some- times it’s one church or sev- eral congregations working in conjunction with each other. Then, the churches all come together once a year to do a larger organized effort and hold a combined church service, Haight said. The combined efforts have grown — the fi rst year included 300 volun- teers, which increased to 400 last year. And, 800 peo- ple attended the combined worship service in 2017, increasing to 1,200 last year. With the involvement of additional churches, Haight is hoping for 500 volunteers and would love to see as many, if not more, people at the service. “We want to get as many people involved as possi- ble,” he said. “Also, it’s not something we just do once a year. ‘I Love My City’ should be a lifestyle.” Crafters in the Pasture offers a day of outdoor shop- ping with vendor booths. Everything from artisan items to junk and clothing to home business products will be available for purchase. The event is Saturday, May 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 78532 Highway 207, Hermiston.
