the porch

I enjoyed doing the Lectio Divina with you all. It seems like a good, ancient, deep exercise in praying and listening. What did you think?

This seems like a good method to add to our regular routine, maybe every other month. Part of our looking back as we look forward.

Hey guys, sorry for the late notice, but here's the details on the hike tomorrow:

We're going to explore Chuckanut Mountain, and end up at the Pine and Cedar Lakes area. It's 4.8 miles round trip, and should take somewhere between 3 to 4 hours round trip (depending on how long we linger). My guidebook rates it 3 out of 10 for terrain difficulty, and a 9 out of 10 for the scenery.   read more »

Hi just wondering if there was group on Sunday Mar.30th.  I came to the church shortly before 5, I waited til 5 and didn't see anyone.  I guess there was no meeting, but I haven't heard anything. Anyway, just letting you all know I dropped by.   Kevin

As we enter a new quarter and spring, it is a good time to reflect on where we are and where we are going. So, here is the Question: Why do you come to the Porch? Where do you think we should be going?

Our three emphases are, "Learning about God; Serving each other; Serving the community where we live." What do you think?

We now have a Facebook Page for The Porch. Take a look at the Porch Facebook Page (updated)

If you are interested, there is also a Porch group in Spokane, with very similar objectives. Check out their Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woodinville-WA/The-Porch/10470970465 and become a fan

This is text of an article I want to read next Sunday. Adapted from an excellent article in christianity today. Thought I would share it ahead of time to give you a chance to read beforehand.  read more »
