How to Help Our Immigrant Community
2025-03-02 12:00 - 13:00
We are all concerned about our immigrants but don’t necessarily know how to help. Norma Hernandez, the Deputy Director of Consejo Hispano, will be here to help us find some answers.

Consejo Hispano is a nonprofit organization that serves the Lantinx community in Clatsop, Tillamook, and Columbia Counties in Oregon as well as Pacific County in Washington.
We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.

Who Am I? Why Am I Here?
2025-03-30 12:00 - 13:00 | First Presbyterian Church of Astoria, 1103 Grand Ave., Astoria, United States
Speaker: Julia Hesse
“Who am I” and “Why am I here?” Engaging these fundamental questions just may help us respond to the crises of our times.
If you need more words: Digging deeper into these questions can help us peel away the layers that leave us complacent and in denial can connect us to the beating heart of our innate purpose and in doing so root us in courageous Love. Contemporary mystic and teacher, Cynthia Bourgeault, refers to this as “holding our post”. Holding our post helps to not only calm our nervous systems, it ripples out into our collective space and helps calm the troubled waters.
We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.

Religious Education for Children will occur during the regular service.
