Training focuses on
sharing your faith
When Christians share
their faith-based experi-
ences, it off ers a message of
hope that many people are
looking for, said Chris Han-
kel, senior pastor at New
Hope Community Church.
The Greater Hermiston
CityFest Committee, which
includes local pastors and
church leaders, invites peo-
ple to attend “Friendship
Evangelism Training.” The
session helps people learn
to share their faith story in a
natural way.
Presented by Jose Zayas,
participants will learn that
even if they’re not a preacher
or an outgoing person,
everyone can develop their
own personal style in sharing
their faith in God. The free
event is Tuesday, June 15, at
7 p.m. at Hermiston Chris-
tian Center, 1825 W. High-
land Ave. Those planning to
attend are asked to RSVP via
https://luispalauassociation.
regfox.com/herm-fe.
Zayas is active in global
missions and also serves
as lead pastor of 26 West
Church in Portland, and is
the author of “Airborne:
Getting Your Faith Off the
Ground.”
The committee continues
to make plans for numer-
ous activities and commu-
nity events during the week
of Aug. 22 — leading up to
Greater Hermiston CityFest,
which is Saturday, Aug. 28,
at Butte Park in Hermiston.

Hamm at 541-561-4724.
Candidate for congress
to speak in Pendleton
Republican Alek Skarla-
tos is making another bid for
a seat in Oregon’s 4th Con-
gressional District. The for-
mer Oregon National Guard
soldier garnered 46.2% of
the votes during the Nov.
2020 election, which incum-
bent Peter DeFazio won.
After his deployment,
Skarlatos traveled his dis-
trict and met people from
all walks of life. He’s run-
ning for Congress because
he wants to stand with Ore-
gonians, including the log-
gers, veterans, moms, dads,
and families trying to make
ends meet.
Skarlatos, who co-au-
thored the book “The 15:17
to Paris: The True Story of a
Terrorist, a Train, and Three
American Heroes,” that
also was made into a fi lm
directed by Clint Eastwood
about his role in helping stop
a 2015 terrorist attack on a
train from Amsterdam to
Paris, will speak Thursday,
June 10, from 5-6 p.m. in the
west rooms at the Pendleton
Convention Center, 1601
Westgate.
A $5 donation is requested
by the Roundup Republican
Women, which will go to
help off set the room fee and
travel costs.
For more information
or to RSVP, email round-
uprw@gmail.com. Include
how many people will
attend with you to be seated
together.
OTLD eliminates
library late charges
The board of directors
of the Oregon Trail Library
District recently adopted a
fi ne-free policy.
Patrons will no longer be
charged for overdue materi-
als. Also, the library district
will erase all past overdue
fi nes for patrons, said Kathy
Street, OTLD director. This
does not include past fees
for lost or damaged items.
The change, Street said in
a press release, is part of an
institutional movement from
libraries nationwide, guided
by recommendations of the
American Library Associa-
tion in an eff ort to increase
free public access to library
services. Street is very
excited about the change.
Numerous
libraries
within the Sage Library Sys-
tem and in Oregon have gone
fi ne-free, Street said. How-
ever, if you go to a library
that still charges fi nes, you
will be charged for overdue
items at that location.
The change doesn’t mean
that people don’t have to
return books to the library.
Items still have a due date
and materials still need to be
returned.
For more information,
contact Street at kstreet@
otld.org or 541-481-3365.

PET OF THE W EEK
MEET LILLY
Lilly is like a Golden Lab in a
tiny package. She is sweet, silly
and soulful. She did have some
separation anxiety issues with her
previous adopter, so she needs a
home where family is there for
her, maybe a playmate who isn't
demanding. She loves a good belly
rub and her soft blanket.
