Sharon Seventh-day Adventist Church

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) a global pandemic. It is critical that we take prompt and decisive action to safeguard our church community. Slowing the spread of the virus is what we as a state have been asked to do.

On March 20, 2020, Governor Kate Brown, Mayor Ted Wheeler and County Chair Deborah Kafoury issued an order effective immediately that people are to "stay home and stay healthy" in order to help save lives against the Coronavirus. Stay home, unless you have to go to the grocery store, get gas, walk a dog or care for an elderly family member. In order for us to be in compliance, we will implement social distancing as requested by Oregon's Governor.

Therefore, we will suspend most in-person worship services at Sharon Church until April 14. This also includes any gatherings of the church which will result in more than 10 people attending. 
 
We will have live services featuring the praise team and Pastor by YouTube or Facebook each Sabbath at 11:15am. Following that, we will open our phone prayer line.
Food Pantry Will be open the last 2 Saturdays of the month from 2-4pm.
