Living My Vision....Now! Get to know us!

Hey all we are considering staring a neighborhood home roasting coffee co-op. Here is the gist: You get the highest quality beans (rated 90+) for $6 a pound. To make this work I need to find around 20 individuals who would be interested in purchasing 10-20 pounds of green beans. These green beans stay fresh for a year! If you would like to be a part of this deal but don’t know how to roast your own coffee we can solve that problem. Just message us and let us know if you are interested and please help spread the word!

Hope you all can join us for the neighborhood BBQ this Sunday evening!

Hey all looks like the next work party Cheasty Trails and Bike Park is June 4th. If you can't make this one see the picture for future dates.

Last night the Fellowship of the Neighborhood with heard the story of how Cheasty Trails and Bike Park came to be. Once upon a time this forest was overgrown with Ivy and blackberry bushes. It was a haven for prostitution and drug trafficking. Now thanks to the Dejong family and many volunteers it is a space where families and neighbors play and greet each other as they use the trails to travel between neighborhoods. As we heard the story it became crystal clear that our creator cares deeply for the land and we should too.

"If we take the time to listen, we’ll find wisdom, wonder, and poetry in the lives and stories of the people all around us."-- Dave Isay

Enjoying this read about listening to the stories of your neighbors by Dave Isay.

Twentieth-century Russian Georges Florovsky wrote, “Christianity entered history as a new social order, or rather a new social dimension. From the very beginning Christianity was not primarily a ‘doctrine,’ but exactly a ‘community.’ There was not only a ‘Message’ to be proclaimed and delivered, and ‘Good News’ to be declared. There was precisely a New Community, distinct and peculiar, in the process of growth and formation, to which members were called and recruited. Indeed, ‘fellowship’ (koinonia) was the basic category of Christian existence.”

The Life Compass notebooks have arrived. Excited to take 12 people on an 8 week journey of discovering their life vision. We begin this Tuesday. It's going to be good!

A Fellowship of the neighborhood is forming and we are thrilled to help fuel what God is already doing! Some go to church in the neighborhood, some commute to church, and some of us don’t go to church at all but what we have in common is the soil (Greater Columbia City Neighorhood )we share and a heart to follow in the ways of Jesus in this place. This is big!
