The CPC Reckoning with Racism Team invites you to the 2024 Annual Gathering at the Wild Horse Resort and Casino on the Umatilla reservation • September 27-29
This year we will be conducting our annual business in two parts:
A weekend experience of turning our hearts as a community towards the long work of responsibility and healing. We will be meeting on the land of the very people who’ve been most impacted by our faith forbearers. Reconciling with our harmful past will be generations-long work; this weekend is our opportunity to begin this work together as a community.
Through storytelling, music, reflection and ritual we'll kindle our collective imaginations toward horizons of healing.

SEPTEMBER 27-29
Dinner at 6 on Friday - Sunday Noon
ONLINE business zoom meeting
OCTOBER 5
9am-1pm PDT/10am-2pm MDT
We’ve scheduled a special Annual Gathering Business Zoom meeting for October 5th from 9am to 1pm PDT (10am to 2pm MDT). Please put this on your calendar, and make sure you have delegates who can attend. We will have an RSVP link for this meeting available in conjunction with the opening of Annual Gathering registration.
We’re putting out a call for prayer quilts and shawls!
We’re asking for quilts and shawls made, prayed over, and sent to the Annual Gathering with your delegates. It could be a lap blanket or shawl, or even a medallion if that’s what your church does.
These will be given as gifts of blessing for special guests and our hosts at the Whitman Mission, Tamastklikt, WildHorse, etc…
Please indicate on the online registration form that you can bring one or two quilts or shawls if you can. Thank you!
Both of these meetings are important to the work, mission, and business of the CPC!
