Portland

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Portland, Oregon with a group from Fellowship 
Bible Church. Good friends Josh and Laurel moved to Portland last winter and are in getting settled into life and beginning stages of church planting. It was so fun to visit them and get to experience their life for a week. Portland is such a fun, funky city that has several strong similarities to Fayetteville. They have a  "Keep Portland Weird" motto, which rings familiar to Fayetteville's own "Keep Fayetteville Funky". When I think of Portland I think: eclectic, beautiful, spiritual, seeking, artsy, different, recycle, coffee, friendly, random. I love it! 

Over 600 independent coffee shops - a small taste of heaven!
Flyer for our Laundry of Love service project. A night of free laundry and dinner for anyone who needs it!!
Alberta Street - where we spent the majority of our time. Lots of fun restaurants and shops!
A typical neighborhood sidewalk view - tons of flowers!

Our team from Fellowship.
