FEED THE HOMELESS

You don’t need me to say that service and taking care of your neighbor, especially the poor, are essential core values in Christianity. So I invite you to join me, every Sunday morning till 9:30 to feed the homeless people living in the neighborhood around the campus. We meet at the Porch at 6:30 a.m., and there will be sign-up sheets for each week.

But before you put your name down, know this: doing service doesn’t earn you a place in heaven. It is merely a manifestation of love that Jesus calls in all of us. I am not leading this service to put a check mark in front of “service.” We are students; what we should do is to learn from a group of people that we normally have little contact with. And I challenge you to ask yourself, why are you doing this? Is it to fill a duty, to quiet an inner guilt, to fight for social injustice, to feel a purpose in life, to see someone smile, etc.? Let’s go and figure out this together for each one of us!

UPROOTED

As we continue to explore what it means to live in community, join us on Monday evenings starting January 9th at the porch with dinner at 6.30 pm and then from 7-8.30 pm diverging into men's & women's groups.

Women's Ministry:  Women were the first to proclaim Christ resurrected, the first to see the resurrected Christ. They have been teachers of the church and continue to serve with diligence and power. We invite you to join Alissa Pummell, Amber Loewen, and Amanda Martin as they lead our Women's Ministry and catch a glimpse of their hearts and passion to lift up friends and disciples to honor the role of women in the Church.  For more information, check out Women's Ministry @ the porch.

Men's Ministry:  Much like our namesake in Jacob, we men find time to struggle life, identity, and the God in whose image we were created.  Join us for a discussion of exploration and adventure in which we discover what it means to be a man of Christ.  For more information: Men's Ministry @ the porch.

 

THE CONVERGANCE and PUB PHILOSOPHY

theConvergance is an initiative at Jacob's Porch to bring together Christians, those who reject Christianity, & those who don't know what they believe for an honest conversation about what's real. Join us on Tuesdays, here at the Porch, at 7 pm And afterward, meet at the Stube at 8 pm to doubt and drink with Thomas.  For more information, check out 'The Convergance.'
