The Slow Church
Near the front of our main building sit two rather mysterious slabs of concrete with pink and green paint on the top. They are benches dropped off some 5 years ago by a woman who thought they might make a nice addition to the church. We talked about it at our next elders’ meeting.

I’m proud to announce that Turtles All The Way Down came out in November of 2009. This was my first experience with the Consafo model of social media community publishing.

If could learn this attitude I think my life would be better. Your Church seems as if it would be a great haven in which to heal. That first photo, looks so inviting just to walk into and be thoughtful for a while.
