Hey guys! Sorry for the day before post, but wanted to make sure I write that we will be meeting up tomorrow (12/15) as usual at our house. Just bring a candy (m&ms, etc?) to decorate a ginger bread house. We bought these little ginger bread houses to make with the kiddos and they have been begging to do them. We thought while the kids make their house (and we can help), we can talk, etc. :) Come one come all, 630pm.

12/8 Tuesday; 630pm

Hello everyone! We did scattering last week so its been awhile since we've met up. Tomorrow we will be at our house, 630 pm. Come one, come all! It's gonna be cookie night, so bring your favorite cookies. Homemade or store bought, it's all good! Allie and I have been taking our family through advent, lighting the wreath and having a scripture reading/reflection/activity for the kiddos. We thought that might be fun to do together and then just hang out after. See ya tomorrow! Steve

11/24 Meet up!

So we are meeting up at the Ronnie family's place tomorrow. Scott told me to go ahead and post the address: 10900 SW 78th Ave. Tigard, OR 97223. Please feel free to come and bring a snack to share if you like. The time will be 6:30pm at that address. Should be a good time of fellowship, call/email me if you have any questions! - Steve

Hello! We are meeting up tomorrow for our gathering as normal at our house. This week will be pretty low key as far as food goes. Feel free to bring a snack to share! Thanks and see ya tomorrow night, 6:30.

So, tomorrow, Tuesday 11/10...Allie and I are going to conduct an experiment and would you to come! :) I am going to smoke a turkey for thanksgiving this year and am trying a chicken to smoke tomorrow as a trial run. Hopefully this experiment tastes good. Come on over for dinner, bring a side. Post a side in the comments if you like. I know as of now we have the smoked chicken and the Ronnie family is bringing pumpkin pie and an additional side. If you are interested in coming for the first time, please do so. See ya tomorrow night!

Scatter Week

Hey everyone! This week is scatter week so we will not be meeting up for our regularly scheduled community group. Take some time to rest, connect with neighbors, etc! Till next Tuesday...

Plans for this week..

So normally we would be getting together on Tuesday night this week. But, a couple things are going on: 1. Our son's end of soccer season party is on Tuesday night. 2. Saturday being Halloween, we thought it would be a good idea to walk around with our kiddos and get to know a few more people in the neighborhood (all while the kiddos get candy of course). In fact, our neighbors kiddy korner to us would like to meet up at 5pm and trick or treat with us (they have two young kids). What a cool way to get to know them a little better, talking while walking around the neighborhood! Please join in on Saturday; email me if interested. We will probably meet at our house around 5pm and then just walk for about an hr. Have an awesome week, don't hesitate to call/text/email questions/prayer requests/or other needs. Thanks! - Steve

Tuesday Community Get-Together! Get in on the action... :)

Hello community! Just wanted to jot a quick post to let you know the plan for this Tuesday. Again, we meet at our house at 630pm. The snack to bring this week we decided will be a fruit theme. Bring a snack that has to do with fruit (apples with something to dip in, just apples, etc, etc...). It could be anything really. Go ahead and post something here if you plan on coming if you like. If you saw our community prayed for at the service today and are thinking you might be interested in checking it out, don't hesitate to email me and ask any questions. Even better, just show up on Tuesday! :) See ya then...

First community get-together this Tuesday! Come on over!

Hello! Hope everyone is having a good weekend...I just wanted to update this post to clarify our meeting time. We are meeting at our house (Shapiro's), at 6:30pm - 8:00pm this Tuesday night. We are going to be having "snack night", so eat dinner beforehand, unless you want to eat snacks for dinner. Feel free to bring a snack/dessert/etc of your choice. And of course it will be very informal so if you bring your dinner over its no problem to come on over and eat here as well. We will be doing community dinners/potlucks in the future, but probably not every week so as not to become burdensome or routine. Please email me if you are interested in coming! Thanks, Steve
