Tuesday December 27 Scatter Week

Hey guys,

Just a reminder that tomorrow we will NOT be meeting. We will resume meeting again on January 3rd. Feel free to leave theme ideas in the comments if you have an idea. I will write up a separate post for January 3rds meeting later on. A reminder also, that we have until the 31st to add donations to the Family Room box. I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas with family, friends, and loved ones! Looking forward to catching up with everyone after the New Year.

Tuesday December 20th

Merry Christmas Everyone! Can you believe that Christmas is in just one week?! Once again I am sorry for my late posts. With the two little ones, time gets away from me. This Tuesday will once again be at our home at 7pm. (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr Hillsboro OR) We will be postponing our Lebanese Food Theme for after the New Year. So this week we just ask that you bring something to share. A reminder that vegetarian and gluten-free options are appreciated but not required.

Also, a reminder that we are filling our box for a family in need. The boxes are now due back on January 1st. Non perishable food items, gift cards, words of encouragement are all welcome. These are for parents who have been separated from their children, but are working to get them back. This Tuesday will be the last opportunity to drop them off at Community Group, however we can always arrange a time to get contributions from you all the way up to theirdue dates.

Lastly, on a scheduling note, we will NOT be meeting next week due to the Christmas Holiday. We will meet again on January 3rd. And the church has made up the cleaning schedule for Jan - May. We are scheduled for Jan 8th, Mar 12th, and May 14th. Please make a note in your calendars. We will also discuss this coming Tuesday about setting up a regular scatter week.

I think that's all for now. See you all Tuesday!

Hey guys!

We are so excited to get together again this coming Tuesday! I don't know about you guys, but I look forward to Tuesday as the highlight of my week. I love seeing all your faces and the fellowship we all share.

We will be meeting at our home (The Tanksley's home) located at  2189 SE Meadowlark Dr Hillsboro, at the usual 7 pm time.

Whatever you want and feel comfortable making.

See you all Tuesday !

Hello,

I hope you have all had a wonderful week and weekend since we last met. We are looking forward to getting back together with you all this coming Tuesday, November 1st .  We will be meeting at 7 pm at the Tanksley Home (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr, Hillsboro). This week we will be hearing from Tom and Julie Kohl!

As we will be meeting just after Halloween, we thought it would be fun to do party foods, appetizers, or finger foods. We will be providing meatballs, and roasted veggies, in addition to the usual assortment of beverages. So  bring your favorite food, drinks or dessert. We are excited to meet with you all again.

Hey Y'all

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this week for our CHILI COOK-OFF!  As we have been discussing the last few weeks, we thought it would be fun if everyone brought there own favorite spin on Chili.  We will provide the toppings and cornbread and the usual assortment of beverages.  However, if someone wants to bring a gluten free cornbread option, or dessert that would be great. Please drop us a note to let us know what you are bringing.

We are meeting at the Tanksley Home at 7 pm, as usual. Address: 2189 SE Meadowlark Drive in Hillsboro.  We also thought we would try something a little new this week; Zach and I will be sharing "Our Story" with you guys.  Nothing scary, just who we are, how we met, that sort of thing.  And then next week we were hoping someone else might share their story.  We are not looking to put anyone on the spot, so there is no requirement to participate. We are just looking for ways to deepen relationships with one another.

Praying for you all.  Looking forward to seeing you all Tuesday!

First Meeting! Tuesday, September 20th, 7PM

Hi Everybody!

We are so excited to get this group going. The first meeting is happening this Tuesday, September 20th, 7pm at our house (Tanksley's). We will share a meal together and spend some time getting to know each other and sharing our desires for our new community.

Our address is:

2189 SE Meadowlark Dr.
Hillsboro, OR  97123

Like many communities this will be a pot luck style event. To keep everything fairly easy for everyone, Karina and I (Zach) thought that rice bowls (think Cafe Yumm) would be a fun introductory meal. We will handle the rice and black beans.

Other ingredients that are welcome are:

• Diced Avocado
• Chopped Bacon

• Diced Bell Peppers
• Shredded Cheese
• Black Olives
• Cilantro
• Your favorite dressing or Yumm Sauce

Can't wait to see everybody on Tuesday!
