In effort to create ways for the people of the Solomon's
Porch community to participate in one another's lives and
to teach each other, we are offering Life Development Forums.
Activities
for all ages of children are offered during the Forum
sessions, so parents are free to attend the session of their
choice.
To sign up for a particular Forum please fill out the sign-up
sheet at church or e-mail
 Why Sunday Night Forums?
The Sunday night Life Development Forums are in the
process of being created in order to make space for Porch
people to more intentionally share parts of their lives
together, in a format that is unique from and complementary
to the other regular Porch activities in which we also
share our lives (Wednesday night dinners, Sunday night
gatherings, etc.).
But what’s driving this particular format? First,
we know we want to follow God holistically, with all parts
of our lives becoming integrated with the ways of Jesus
more and more—our finances, our physical health,
our jobs, our families, our recreation—but tackling
all of it at the same time, usually on our own, is pretty
tough. Second, we recognize that so many Porch people
have experience, knowledge, and interest in many of these
“whole life” areas that could be of help and
interest to other Porchers—but they may not realize
that what they have to share is useful! So the Forums
are one place where we want to take time to learn from
each other, in short sessions and in community.
We hope that each offering will not only provide information
that’s useful for your lives, but that people will be
encouraged to start integrating it and walk together through
the sometimes difficult or awkward initial phase that making
changes like living by a budget, starting an exercise program,
or learning to pray in new ways can bring. It is our prayer
that this kind of hands-on learning together will be more
helpful, more healthy, and more fun.
So if there are topics you would like to teach or lead, or
topics you would like to see offered, please contact
