You can still STM BottleDrop!
STM’s BottleDrop effort continues over the summer months! Fill a blue bag from the back of the church with cans or bottles and drop it at the Beaverton BottleDrop location Center across from Jesuit High School. You don’t have to wait in line — head to the small door on the left/west side of the building and scan the bar code on your bag. That will open the drop-off door so you can deposit your bag and receive credit for STM! Service at STM’s Dosch Lot will continue in September. Thanks for Bottle Dropping for STM!

John 6:60-69
Many of Jesus’ disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”As a result of this, many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” John J. O’Hara
