EI Circle of Prayer Day 2006: On Sunday, May 7th, Aroma of Christ asked the congregation at Calvary Chapel Eastside to support Share, Care, and Prayer in their annual E.I. Circle of Prayer Day on May 12, 2006.
The Tomato Effect: This is an award-winning documentary film by Faun Kime, whose father was killed suddenly in a mountain climbing accident while embroiled in the middle of a lawsuit that threatened the vested interests of the chemical industry. There was a screening of this film in the Seattle area in May 2006.
Northwest Pastors' Conference 2005: Pastor Wayne Taylor from Calvary Fellowship in Seattle hosts an annual N.W. Pastors' Conference in Stanwood, Washington. In September 2005, Aroma of Christ Ministry hosted a display table at the conference sharing about the needs of the chemically sensitive and how churches can accommodate people with this condition. There were about 600 pastors, leaders and missionaries in attendance from places such as Montana, Missouri, Texas, Oregon, California, Washington, Alaska, Minnesota, London, and Germany so it was a great opportunity to educate church leaders about this. According to Janine Ridings, founder of Aroma of Christ, "The response from the pastors and leaders I spoke with was very encouraging; there was a sense of compassion and willingness to help."
