Friends,

Just a reminder we are meeting this month on Thursday, Feb. 7th at 7pm at our normal meeting place at the Glenn Otto Park in Troutdale. We are changing ONLY THIS MONTH...and will resume our second Sunday meeting on March 9th.

We are adjusting our schedule because of a series of meetings and events in Seattle (see below)

Carlene and I returned from a week of meetings in Los Angeles with Graham Cooke and Gary Goodell, I spoke at a Korean Church, and spent a wonderful afternoon with our son Matthew during his Sunday liberty day. He is facing a final test of his training this Wednesday....a 15K mountain hike. Thanks for praying for him.

Looking forward to seeing you on this Thursday at 7pm.

Darrell and Carlene



Anniversary of the Later Rain Revival this weekend at St. Luke's.

After Bible School students and faculty sought the Lord for some months, the Holy Spirit poured out in North Battleford, Saskatchewan (Canada) on February 11th, 1948. This move of the Holy Spirit brought a joy and warmth to worship and restored ancient New Testament practices with new power – The Presbytery, Five-Fold Ministry, etc. This movement's influence is still evident in several streams of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movements.

Although several aberrations became evident in the Latter Rain early into the outpouring, the positive legacy of this work of the Holy Spirit continues to bless the Church.

St. Luke's will be hosting Jim and Marie Watt for two evenings of sharing –

Sunday February 10th (7 PM) – followed by a 24-hour Prayer Vigil

Monday February 11th (7 PM) – the actual anniversary date!

Jim Watt is the last surviving member of the original seven elders from the 1948 summer camp meetings. He and Marie bring a wealth of experience and wisdom in the Holy Spirit.

Each evening will feature worship, led by Darrell and Carlene Dahlman followed by the Watts sharing in an interview format.

Themes –

Sunday Night – Joyful and Intimate Worship, plus the Angelic Choir

Monday Night – Five-Fold Ministry and the Prophetic Presbytery

Please plan to join us. Kindly share this information with family and friends! God Bless! -John+
