NoPo Home Community

As a home communtiy our leadership team works to embody the basic principles set forth to us by Imago Dei. These principles are Authentic Community, Missional Journey, Worship and Beauty, Prayer, and Truth and Meaning. As our home community has grown, evolved and changed over this last year we have a need to involve more of you into the leadership team/process. Our hope is that some of you would be interested in taking on one of principles listed above. On September 5th we are going to host a little get together at our house (5810 North Haight) to discuss what it will look like to be involved in leadership. This is a low key, make no promises kind of event. We just ask that you give it an honest look and be open to the possibility of leadership. The plan is to meet on September 5th at 7:00pm. The meeting should last about an hour. I hope to see you all there. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ok, everyone should check this out. I think we should all pick one site as a Home Community to help out. What does everyone think? Please give feedback.

Yes it's true. The summer is coming to an end. This also means that our HC will again be meeting on a regular basis with real things to talk about and discuss. (well, we will at least meet regularly) It is my intention to kick off the "back to our normal schedule HC" with a unique event.

Each September, thousands of migrating Vaux's Swifts use Chapman Elementary School's chimney as their nightly roost before continuing their journey to southern Central America and parts of Venezuela. For three weeks in September Audubon Society of Portland hosts Swift Watch, an amazing opportunity to see the swifts in their nightly aerial performance and learn more about special creatures.

This is an amazing event that happens each year in NW Portland. On September 12th the NOPO, Arbor Lodge, Humbolt, or whatever our official name is HC is planning to have a pinic at Chapman school to watch 10's of thousands of little birds fly into a chimeny at dusk. It's really cool. This event will kick off our official return to Wednesday evenings, now hosted at the Miranda's. (6:30Pm to 8:30PM Wednesday's)

Plan to bring a blanket, chairs, picinc and anyone that might be interested. Unitl 9/12 we will continue to meet informally as the group or individuals would like. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to give me a call at (503) 544-3841.

What's the plan for this week? We haven't seen everyone in a long time. If anyone wants to do a BBQ potluck at our house we would be down with that. If anyone is going to show please call or email to let us know if there's interest. Hope to see everyone soon. 503.493.8765
