Caring for MICHELLE
Michelle Jones, our wonderful Pastor for Prayer + Teaching, has been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. As a church, we recognize that these next 2-3 months will require her to be fully present to surgery, radiation treatment, and recovery. The elders have given her time off and the staff and deacons are assuming her responsibilities for the time being. While Michelle focuses on her health, we know many of you will want to support. This website is a place where we will offer those appropriate avenues and give updates as we have them. Michelle is surrounded by a large, loving group of family and friends who have already been journeying with her up to her surgery date, which is June 16. Because of this, we ask that you refrain from reaching out to Michelle directly. If you want to stay in the loop and hear about ways you can support Michelle, this is your place! QUESTIONS? Reach out to Stephanie at stephanie@idcpdx.com.
Pastor Michelle has taught us that “When we pray, we come face to face, or heart to heart, with a living and loving Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” Let us lift up Michelle in our prayers together. She has surgery on Tuesday, June 16th, followed by a period of recovery before she begins radiation treatment later in the summer. We will be updating this page with prayer requests.
Prayer
As we all know, Michelle loves the written word! If you’d like to reach out via card or letter we will be sure to deliver it to her. You can either drop your note off at the Connection Table on a Sunday or send it to:
Michelle Jones
Imago Dei Community
1302 SE Ankeny St. Portland, OR 97214
NOTES
If you would like to give Michelle a meal, the best way at this time is through a DoorDash gift card. You can drop it at the Connection Table, mail it to the church, or send an e-gift card to Michelle via Steph at stephanie@idcpdx.com.
