The Hispanic Ministry Training Institute of the Conference Council on Hispanic-Latino Ministries has scheduled several workshops throughout Oregon and Idaho to build a network of persons wishing to explore immigration from a biblical perspective and to advocate for more just immigration policies. The workshop entitled “God Is An Immigrant” will begin with an exploration of what the Bible and the Church say about immigrants and will then explore effective ways of faithfully responding as Christians.
The workshops in either Spanish or English will be offered at the following churches:
Saturday, February 6 – Wilder (Idaho) UMC 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (in Spanish and English)
Saturday, February 13 – Cornelius UMC (Western Dist.) 1-5 p.m (in Spanish)
Saturday, February 20 – Corvallis UMC (Southern Dist.) 10 a.m.-3 p.m. (in English)
Saturday, March 13 – Beaverton UMC (Metro Dist.) 1-5 p.m. (in English)
The workshops will be facilitated by Mira Conklin, Cathy Whitlatch, and Ron Whitlatch, all trained by the National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministries for immigration modules. All persons interested in immigration including members of other churches and from the community at large are encouraged to attend. All workshops are free, with the exception of Corvallis where a free-will donation will be received for the lunch. For more information or to register, contact

At a recent meeting the Conference Council on Hispanic/Latino Ministries launched a new program to support emerging ministries with Hispanics/Latinos through prayer and financial support. “Compañeros” (which means “companions” in Spanish) pledge to support these ministries throughout the Annual Conference by agreeing to pray daily for these ministries and/or financially donating monthly to their support.

 Members at the small United Methodist Church in Cornelius, Oregon were looking for a way to reach out to their community beyond providing food through the newly formed Community Table Food Pantry. Several persons within and outside the church had expressed interest in using some of the church’s lot for a community garden. It finally all came together when church member Don O’Rear drew up a plan for a garden in the shape of a labyrinth and presented it to the Board of Trustees which accepted it and designated the front lot as the site.
