A look-ahead at the next month:

GreenBox of Hope (June 12)

Jeff — Fri, 21 May 2010 14:19:03 +0000

GreenBox is donating one of their innovative, environmentally friendly, portable pre-fabricated buildings for a dwelling place at Dignity Village. On Saturday, June 12th we get to build it!

Dignity Village is a city-recognized encampment of homeless people in Portland. Homeless folks in Portland who were tired of sleeping under bridges and in door ways started “tent city”; after being recognized by the city it was deemed Dignity Village.

The village is registered as a 501(c)3. Its really impressive as they have a general civic structure, basic rules of order and community gardens as well as revenue generation opportunity. there is an office and community restroom. other than that residents build small structures to live in.

What’s “Ask & Explore?” (a resource for parents)

Jeff — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:28:30 +0000

Every week we send out a summary of the worship experience with students, focusing on the themes and Scriptures from our teaching and response time. We call this “Ask & Explore” simply because what we learn and enjoy each week should be explored together both students with their parents. What better way to explore than by asking questions? It’s a simple tool parents have asked to help connect God’s Word to the parent-student relationship, bringing the message to real-life.

The questions are the same ones we wrestle with in our small group times. Leaders, students, parents, asking the same heart questions, seeing God change our minds and our hearts.

We deeply desire to partner with parents — and that each would feel encouraged, supported, equipped, and involved in God’s process to nurture students’ faith in Jesus. So … Ask. Explore. Let us know how we can help.

(We send these out for middle school as well.)

Thank you again for the privilege of investing in your students!

Because Jesus is everything,

Jeff Patterson
Associate Pastor
