Boylan Going Away Party Sunday March 25th, after gathering at the Porch. Alfred Tennyson once said, "I am a part of all that I have met." That quote defines what our community means to us. Over the past seven years, each of you has been an essential part of our story ... a story that will endure until we meet again ... and then continue its tale. We are sad to be leaving, but thrilled that we will be back (March 2010). Please help us to create some memories that will take us through the next couple of years .. after the Gathering on May 25th (there will only be one Gathering that night as it's Memorial Day) at the Porch. Kelly will be home for the weekend and would love to see you all, as would I. We'll have more details as we get closer to the date, but I wanted you to mark your calendars now. Thanks and we hope to see you there!
Prayer Requests
Everhart family update
We would like to thank the Solomon's Porch community for all the prayers and offers of help during the past weeks since Isaac was injured in the assault and robbery. We really appreciate it, and feel comforted by all the well wishes. We are doing the best we can, and the internal healing is slow, but we are strong. -The Everharts
On behalf of Sergeant Stinky (Jake Nelson)...
Jake is still serving in North Africa with the US Army. Please keep him in your prayers. Also, he loves hearing form us, his church community, so email him often! :) nelsojac@googlemail.com

We'd love it to go to a family we know since it was made and used with so much love. K, J and A
