The Man Behind the Titanic Concert - Grant Edwards
Grant Edwards, organist at First Congregational United Church of Christ, was first exposed to the story of the Titanic disaster at the age of eight when he watched "A Night to Remember." He said it "scared him to death," but it also set into motion his curiosity about the disaster and years later the music that came to be associated with it. A Titanic music historian, Grant has assembled a rare performance of that music to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the disaster.

Covenant of Hope and Your Response In the News
…from despair and homelessness is exactly what I believe Jesus called us to do. When the call for help went out, people from First Congregational Church stepped up and put their money and their presence where their faith was.
What a response! Thanks to all who contributed and helped out! This family is in their new apartment and they have everything they need for now. The father has a job and the mother is on the hunt for a job.
You can read in The Oregonian about the family and how First Congregational Church has stepped up to help.
Please pray for this family and for those among us who are supporting them. Remember that for the next 6 months we will offer them 3 months of rental help and remain in contact with them as they settle down.
When you offer your financial assistance to the family, please remember to include you contributions clearly marked, “Covenant of Hope.” Thank you!
