| To Newsletter Editors, Rectors and Vicars: Celebrate Bishop Ladehoff's Ministry Everyone is invited to three events in celebration of Bishop Ladehoff's ministry. On August 16 we'll celebrate at the Bishop's Close in Portland with a Garden Party from 2:00 to 4:00 pm... You'll be able to wish Bishop Ladehoff well, walk through beautiful Elk Rock Garden, and enjoy refreshments as well as meet and greet fellow Episcopalians from around the Diocese. Please park at nearby Riverdale School and Christ Church in Lake Oswego and a shuttle bus will take you to the Close. The address of Riverdale School is 11733 SW Breyman and Christ Church is located at 1060 Chandler Rd. Lake Oswego. August 23rd from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm will find us at Indian Mary Park just west of Merlin, Oregon. Merlin is north of Grants Pass just off I-5. At the park you can swim under the watchful eye of lifeguards, enjoy a raft or dangle your feet in the water, and, of course, visit with Bishop Ladehoff and your fellow Episcopalians from around the state. The mouth watering menu includes salmon and Virginia ham with music provided by the "Easy Valley Eight.' If you wish to spend the night in Grants Pass, make a reservation at the Riverside Inn by calling 1-800-334-4567. Be sure to tell them you are with the Diocese of Oregon and receive a special rate.. Triangle Lake Center is our final destination. It's a picnic for everyone, hamburgers and hot dogs, with music by the 'Lab Band' from Coquille beginning at 11:00 am and ending at 3:00 pm. It is at this location that Bishop Ladehoff breaks ground for the Robert and Jean Ladehoff Chapel, a special event for all of us. Should you wish to spend a night or two at Triangle Lake, make your reservations now by calling (541) 927-6132 or send an e-mail to service@trianglelake.com. Most exciting of all the 'Cross of Continuity' designed by Jenny Beloit and made by the Children of the Diocese, will be at each location. We think it is beautiful and want you to see it. Don't forget to send in your RSVP card that came in your copy of the Oregon Episcopal Church News. If you lost the RSVP card, please ask your pastor for another. One final reminder: all of the celebration events are free of charge. |
