Public Safety Forum
We are pleased to announce that on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm Savage Memorial Presbyterian Church will host a public safety forum featuring Dan Saltzman, Commissioner, Portland City Council; Councilor Lori Stegmann, Gresham City Council; and Kelli Sheffer, Commander, Portland Police Bureau - East Precinct ; among other elected officials from Portland, Gresham and Multnomah County, as well as public safety officials. The focus of the forum will be a panel presentation followed by a question and answer session regarding the homeless situation and all it's ramifications. Working together, we hope to find ways to come to grips more effectively with this serious matter in and around Portland, Gresham and Multnomah County. This is our third time to host a community forum, and they have been important and very informative. Make plans to attend!

Congratulations on a successful and welcoming General Assembly event. Thanks to all who volunteered and helped spread the hope!
Grace and peace to you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Church family: for some people, these two words are synonymous. For others, the family in which they grew up included a particular church, the celebrations and familiar feel of church. For some, the words conjure up a closed picture of a clan you have to be born or marry into. But that is not us.
At Savage Memorial, we are proud to be a church family. For us, that means people of all generations are valued and included. That means the ties of love are continually extended to include new life, new people, new experiences. Church family means we eat together, celebrate together, cry together, and grow together in faith.
We welcome folks of every worldly condition into our church family, regardless of race, age, physical ability, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, or economic condition. We are committed to the grace of openness in extending the fellowship of Christ to all persons.
We are members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), and as such are a worship-centered, Biblically-ordered, and Spirit-led expression of the larger church. Connections to other believers, congregations, and ministries keep us personally involved with Christ’s worldwide work. In worship, fellowship, and mission, we joyfully give all praise and honor and glory to God.
Our people are connected to the world and our communities. Thoughtful awareness and genuine engagement with the workings of the world are valued here. We come from around the corner, across the country, and the world over, and we relish the diversity of a family with broad roots. Our dedication has long been captured in the line – To the Glory of God and the Service of our Community. Yes, that’s us.
We invite you to join us as we offer ourselves to God and are prepared for God’s service in the world. There is a place for you at our family table.
Shalom – Chris Grewe, pastor

How Firm a Foundation (author unknown, attributed to “K” by editor John Rippon, 1787)
1 “How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in God’s excellent Word!
What more can be said than to you God hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
For I will be near thee, thy trouble to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no never forsake!"

Well done, good and faithful servant -
Enter into the joy of your master.

ELAINE SCHAAF TRIBUTE
It is our fervent hope to raise money through gifts in Elaine’s memory to commission an anthem for choir and accompaniment to be dedicated to Elaine Schaaf. This new work would be written by Mark Hayes, a noted composer and one of Elaine’s favorites. The cost to accomplish this would be $3,000. You can make out a check to Savage Memorial, with the memo “Elaine Schaaf Tribute.” Please give generously.
