All Church Retreat

The All Church Retreat is a significant event in the life of our community. Each year, we gather at Twin Rocks Friends Camp to worship, play and invest in our community. This year, the Retreat is set for April 16-18. Please save the date on your calendar! Greg M. will serve as registrar again this year. A copy of the registration form is available here.

This year, we will explore Godly Play as a tool for spiritual development. In addition to our class time on Saturday morning, we will have a Coffee House on Friday evening and the Untalent Show on Saturday evening. Worship is Sunday morning. Even if you can't join us for the entire weekend, consider coming to the Coast on Sunday. There meeting house in Portland will be dark that day. It really is the ALL CHURCH Retreat!

FCNL Priorities

The Friends Committee on National Legislation wants to involve as many Quaker meetings and churches as possible in setting their priorities for the coming legislative session. We'll gather after worship on Sunday, Feb. 28 to listen for what rises. What do you discern to be the greatest priority in advancing Peace, Justice, Personal Growth and Environmental Integrity?

SW Hope: Feed the Hungry

In 2008, Neighborhood House (our local foodbank) distributed food to 230-280 families per month. In 2009, that number was up to 420 families per month (about 1400 individuals). Churches, synagogues and other organizations in SW Portland are working together to raise 159,000 pounds of food from Feb. 5 to March 28. Please bring your donation to WHF.
