Hello SW Portland Community group, we hope the summer is ending well for you all as kiddos go back to school and we settle into routines again.  We're excited to reconnect with everyone! Allie and I want to start regularly meeting up again together. Starting in September we will meet every other week.

Tentative plan: Meet up 6pm

Sept 11th: Potluck, details to come

Sept 25th: Meet at park (or church if weather not good)

Oct 9th: Potluck, details to come

Oct 23rd: Tigard Bowl!

Nov 13th: Potluck Pumpkin Dish night

Nov 27:  Game night at church

Dec 11th: Christmas party, caroling, advent etc???

We'll meet up only once in December. That will take us to the end of the year and is a good place to start. Let us know if you have any suggestions or questions. I (Steve) would like to try and meet up once a month with guys for prayer, word, fellowship. I know schedules are tough. I'll let you know when I decide on a time/place.

Talk to you all soon!

Steve and Allie

July and August

Hello everyone, I hope your summer is going well. Allie and I wanted to post the July and August plan so that the group and anyone interested in checking out our group is in the loop. Colossae would like groups to "rest" over the summer, especially since so many people are out of town during the summer. That being said, they would like us to provide meetups once each month to connect and also for newcomers to come check out the group leading up to the fall. Here are our meetups for the rest of the summer:

July 17th: We are going to have a potluck combined with the Metzger community at Tom and Robin Briggs house! Should be a good time to fellowship with each other and the Metzger folks. 6:30pm. More details to come...

August 14th: Meetup at Metzger Park, 6:30pm


Any additional activities or meetups besides these two would be totally fine as well. Please feel free to plan something and send out a text if you have some ideas...definitely not limited by these two dates.

God bless you and your family...see you soon,

Steve

Hi everybody! Tomorrow, 6/5, lets meet up at Woodard Park. 6:15 or so. See ya there!

Tues 5/22

Hi everybody-

I had anticipated meeting up tonight but after pondering further, I am working much of the day and Allie has been feeling a little under the weather so I think we will hold off tonight. I wanted to lay out a loose plan for the summer so that going forward for June-Jul-August we could have an idea of what to expect...

Starting next Tuesday, we will meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the months. The off weeks we won't meet up, but it would be nice to try and get together as guys/girls separately as schedules allow.

I also would like to try and camp out as a group 1 or 2 nights, somewhere close in to the area. We'll see if we can find a place/time that will work.

God bless you guys today and we will plan on meeting up next Tuesday!

Steve

Tomorrow we will meet at Woodard Park (the one near Tigard Burgerville like last time) again, ~6:15 or so. Per Caleb's request, lets do a picnic dinner so bring something to eat and a dessert to share! See you all then,

Steve

Hello everyone! I wanted to let you guys know we are having a scattering day tomorrow since it is the 2nd Tuesday of the month and the youth use the church that day. We will be back to meeting together next Tuesday, same time, same place.

God bless you guys this week! Hope you all can make it to the All Colossae gathering this weekend, sounds like it is going to be a great time.

Steve

6:15 or so tonight at the church everybody! Bring a snack/drink/game to share if you like.

See ya soon,

Steve
