Almost there...

It’s hard to believe that in just over three days Rice & Beans month will have ended. We undoubtedly arrive at this point in the month with differing questions to ask ourselves. We may be reflecting on what we expected, versus what our experience ended up being. Perhaps we are reflecting on how this experience has impacted those around us, or how we will decide to continue living out our lives. Or maybe we are simply trying to determine where the nearest Ben & Jerry’s shop is. Regardless of where we’re at (though I’m sure at this particular moment we’re all dreaming of different ice cream flavours…), or of the logistics which affected our participation in R&B month, I would encourage us all to intentionally carve out some time in these next few days to reflect, brainstorm, and listen. Also, if you have not yet read today’s devotional, I would encourage you to do so.

Now on to information about our celebration dinner! (Or, as a younger participant referred to it as, a feast!) This Friday, April 1, we will celebrate the completion of R&B month by munching on some non-rice-and-beans food. Bring a tasty dish to share with the community. Hamburgers and a grill will be provided (feel free to bring an alternative meat or veggie option to grill, as well). We would love to see you there if you are in the Portland area!
