Welcome, to RiversWay in Portland Oregon! |
|
    Welcome, you made it! RiversWay community . . . what's in a name? We introduced our name with river rocks, you know smooth stones placed in each person's hand. As we turned the stones in our hands we asked, "How did these rocks get so smooth?" Two young boys said, "From getting in the river" and the other "from bumping into each other, the river bottom and the water." We are a place where people can jump in, edges and all. What would it be like to be a place where people can do a life altering journey, where what is false can wash off, where who you are can break forth like the dawn, where your greatest offering to the world can be uncovered and received . . . a place you can show up and just be. Kick off your shoes, make yourself at home, we're glad you stopped by. The bathroom door is on the right - OK metaphors have limits like most other things - smile. In lively waters, Jason RiversWay participates with the Northwest Yearly Friends http://www.nwfriends.org/ Leadership |

Greetings! 2 days ago a neighbor heard 2 loud bangs on her roof. She went outside to see a frantic mother squirrel chattering away. Her 2 babies had fallen from their nest some 50 feet up in the air. So of course our neighbor brought them over to our house. Both had swelling in their head from the fall - Theodore more than Alvin - yes of course they have names now. After a couple days they've begun to drink the squirrel formula quite heartily and breath regularly as their swelling has gone down. These 2 little ones remind me of how easy it is to fall and lose our way. This Sunday(9/7) 1-3pm we will provide showers, laundry and a meal to our friends at fanno creek who call the woods their home. (carpool from Minnix home at 12:30pm) We need at least 3 people to make it work. Darla and I are signed up. Please respond to this email or call if you plan to make it. We're starting small and sustainably to make a difference in the lives of those who've lost their way. Also, if you can donate some socks or pants 32-34 waist that would be awesome! You can buy under ware to donate as well - sorry no previously used stuff here. Just drop if off to my house or bring it worship on Saturday. Feel free to invite friends who may be interested. a little squirrly, Jason |
