What Are You Here For?
Greetings!

Have you ever answered our post-it wall question?

Upon entry into The Cafe you are encountered by a question.

Your answer is then affixed to a plexiglass wall for all to see--as they compose their sub-sequent answers.

It's actually quite thought-provoking.

This question provides you with an intellectual exercise as you wait for your morning cup of caffeinated fuel.
What is Your Mission?

For many of us the summer is a time for strategic planning for our organizations and businesses.

But what about for yourself, your life?

What are your plans for this life or even this season of life?

What is your mission?

In this season of my life, my mission is about creating moments of joy, happiness and, most importantly, enlightenment--not only for myself, but also for many others. This may even be my life-long mission.

Scroll below to check out a few upcoming events that will inspire a bit of joy in your life.

Please stop by The Cafe and offer up a post-it for our wall.

Have a cup of our Portico Blend and let's get focused on our missions.

Peace,

Chalette M. Davis

Mindi's Build Day-FINISHING TOUCHES
7:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Saturday, Jun. 25

It has been nearly a year since we began this journey of home ownership with Mindi. There are just a few more items to complete on her punch list.

Join us for our final build day on Saturday, June 25.

We're so grateful for the group of volunteers that have supporter this year-long effort; and we'd like to host a final build day before Mindi's house is ready for dedication.

This June 25 build is a limited team build day for
ten volunteers.


For more info contact Rick.

Thank you for your months of dedicated service!
Two New Installations at The Portico

Cafe Artist - Demetasphere
The Community Hall - Thomas Murray


Demetasphere

Demetasphere is an artist who is exploring the juxtaposition of the microcosm within a macrocosmic environment. She creates acrylic art that is influenced by her fascination with microbiology and the observable universe. She wants observers to get a glimpse into the microbial universe that exist in and all around us.

Read more about our cafe artist here.

Thomas Murray

Thomas Murray works primarily in oil paint, with forays into sound, music composition, performance, and digital video. His work is deeply personal--gleaned from current political events, he works on the edge of recognition. Thomas appropriates archetypal imagery, such as the Garden of Eden to explore the relations of globalization and a subtle critique of the viewer/ consumer and our place in relocating histories.

Community Hall exhibit: The Virgil Series
