Hey Everybody,

Zach here! Karina is off at the women's retreat and I have all the control (and kids, and dogs, and my in-laws hanging out!) So lots of fun stuff going on. I like the momentum we are building with the new time so I am going to still have group this week.

Anyways, my place (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr., 97123), noon, food, good times to be had.

Can't wait to see what y'all bring (if someone brings non-breaded wings I will love you forever.)

See ya!

Hi Everyone!

Hope y'all had a great week, its time to gather again at the Tanksley House (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr. Hillsboro, OR, 97123).

The food theme is Hawaiian/Islander food

Some food dishes are below, or you can check the menu's at restaurants like

Manaia
808 Grinds
Roxy's Island Grill
L&L Hawaiian BBQ

for inspiration.

It is worth noting that Karina has some unpleasant reactions to Pineapple so please don't mix it into the foods but you are welcome to bring it separately.

Tanksley's will be making a macaroni salad (Hawaiian style, yet, no pineapple...)

Other fun Hawaiian foods are (pulled from Wikipedia)

Kalua Pork
Loco Moco
Chicken Katsu

As always someone is welcome to bring drinks or desserts!

We look forward to seeing you all, please comment below on what food you are bringing so others can coordinate their meals appropriately.

Hey guys! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. We certainly are. We will meet once again at 7pm at our place. 2189 SE Meadowlark Dr, Hillsboro.

This week's food theme is finger foods. We will probably do some variation of Mini Sliders and maybe another simpler item to be determined. If we could all aim in a similar fashion to bring something with protein and something along the side dish route, I feel we could really make a meal out of this theme. Thanks so much guys, looking forward to seeing you all in a few days!

Tuesday June 20th IF Gathering

Hello friends,

Thank you so much for bearing with us last week, and our last minute cancellation. I am feeling much better now, just a weird 24 hr stomach bug, I guess. But on that note, it would be nice to have a few of you operate as back-up hosts, so that we are not always canceling. But we can discuss this some more next time we meet as a group.

This week is our final IF TABLE. So, once again this will be a ladies only gathering. It will be either at the Sivage home at 7pm. Food is provided so no need to contribute. We do not have any set plans for the Gents at this point. I am going to leave that as an open discussion for you guys to decide among yourselves. So please check back here, or on the Facebook page for an update tomorrow on location and time. Also, I will be posting the questions for the If TABLE on the Facebook page.

Sorry if I'm rambling a bit, as of late I have been fairly doped up on allergy meds.
Happy Father's Day,
Karina

Hello Everyone!

We are looking forward to this weeks meeting.  Having finally all gotten over this cold, we are looking forward to getting things back on track and moving toward a new season for our group.  I don't know about you guys, but I am thoroughly enjoying every bit of sunshine we get.   I feel EXTRA ready for spring after this last month of sickness and not to mention this very dreary winter we have had.

We will meet as usual at 7 pm at the Tanksley household (2189 SE Meadowlark Drive Hillsboro).  This week I thought is would be fun to do a belated St. Patrick's meal.  So bring on the Irish food!  Ideas for this meal can be found using the link listed below, please leave a comment with what you plan on bringing.

http://www.food.com/ideas/traditional-irish-foods-6326

Personally, I am considering making the Loaded Potato Casserole, it looks delicious!

Lastly, for the Ladies, we are working on setting dates, time and locations for our IF Table gatherings.  If you plan on coming to these or would like to host, please let me know.  Also, please be praying about friends that you can invite to join us.  I hope to have the info for our gatherings set in stone by the time we meet on Tuesday.  So if you are interested in hosting let me know before then.

See you all soon!

MEETING THIS TUESDAY!!!
7 pm @ 2189 SE Meadowlark Dr. Hillsboro

I am so excited!  It feels like it has been forever.  Having been under quarantine with this flu bug, I am officially ready for some adult interaction.  I have cleaned and disinfected my house, all that remains is about 15,000 pounds of laundry!!!!! Just kidding....but only slightly.  ðŸ˜‹

And another reason to be excited....Zach got a new job!!  Thank you Jesus! What an answer to prayer.  This coming Tuesday will mark his first day on the job.  So in celebration of that fact, we will be having a potluck full of his favorite foods!

He loves bar food, fried food, appetizers and Mexican food.  So we have pretty large genre to pull from. I will list a few favorites below if you need some inspiration.  I have not yet decided what we will make, and will probably wait to see what you guys volunteer before I decide.  So don't forget to leave a comment below.

Mozzarella Sicks
Irish Nachos
Spinach Dip
Wings
Onion Rings
Tots/French Fries
Jalapeno Poppers
Deviled Eggs
Hummus Plates
Charcuterie (Meat and Cheese board)
Chicken Strips
Chips and Guac/Salsa/Queso
Mini Tacos

I am loosing steam....but I think you guys get the idea.  You can always shoot Zach or I a quick text if you have any questions!

Cheers!

Hello Groupies!
Just a reminder that this week is our Scatter Week due to Valentines Day falling on our usual group night! We will meet again on February 21st in the usual fashion. Just a reminder that scatter weeks are a time to "connect" with people outside of the usual group forum. So, maybe it wont fall on Valentines Day, but I want to urge you all to be intentional this week, and get to know someone on a deeper level. As for myself, I was planning on grabbing coffee with my neighbor this week at Manaia, and taking my daughter out on a date for Valentines Day. However, this recent flu outbreak in our household may keep us under quarantine for a while. Looking forward to catching up with you all on the 21st and the intermediary Sundays (if we make it)!
Sincerely,
Karina Tanksley

Tuesday, February 7th, Men's Gathering at McNally's 7PM

Hi Everybody,

As a reminder to all there is no community gathering this week. Instead we encourage everyone to attend their corresponding men's and women's nights occurring this week.

Both events occur at the same time (7PM) at the same location (McNally's) in downtown Hillsboro.

The lady's night occurs on Monday and the guy's night is Tuesday.

These events are a great time to try and make new friends from the gathering and is often attended by people new to the church, so you may have chance to invite them back to our community.

We hope everyone has a good time, meets someone new, and create deeper relationships with people you already know.

We look forward to seeing you all at each different night.

Thanks!

Zach and Karina

Hey Guys,

I am so sorry I totally forgot about this week's post! We will be meeting at our home at 7pm as per the usual (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr Hillsboro OR).

Because I am so late in getting this post up I am going to make it open season on what you want to bring.  Basically, there is no theme, just bring something to share. We will have a pile of pulled pork to share with some BBQ sauce on the side.

Once again, I am so sorry to be so late on this post. See you all tomorrow night! Please leave a comment below with what you plan to bring, or just pick something up on your way over, either is fine!

Hi Everybody,

We hope you had an amazing Christmas spent with friends, family, and loved ones. We are looking forward to spending time with all of you this Tuesday at our place (2189 SE Meadowlark Dr. Hillsboro, OR 97123).

Nothing celebrates love and community in our household like Mexican food. So that will be the theme of the evening.

Anything Mexican food themed flies. You name it. Some ideas can include

* Tamales
* Enchiladas
* Queso (you will be Karina's friend forever if you bring a vat of queso)
* Rice
* Beans
* Tortilla Chips
* Guacamole
* Salsa
* Taco Soup
* Flan
* Taquitos
* Churros

(I can think of more Mexican food than American food it seems)

And anything else we might have missed. Please post your dish here, in response to the email, or the Facebook page, we will make sure the info ends up together here or there, or everywhere.

You guys are awesome and we can't wait to see you.

Zach and Karina and Haddie and Luke and Rogue and Teddy
