Intentional parenting in the way of Jesus
As my husband and I expect our first child soon, I find it important to be involved in an ongoing discussion of creative approaches and new ideas for intentional parenting in the way of Jesus... being family in the present reality of God's Kingdom.

It's acutally 12 different bands/tribes. Yes the Nez Perce of Chief Josephs band are apart of the Colville Reservation. My lineage is of the San Poil, Entiat, Nespelem, and Wenatchi, so I'm not of Chief Joseph's band. So it sounds like your minis...

Lenten Journey

"I love this!" said someone who worked on adapting A Lenten Journey by Christine Sine for our ecumenical Lenten series in Edmonds WA - between Edmonds Lutheran Church, Bethel Lutheran Church (Shoreline) and Saint Alban's Episcopal Church (Edmonds).... it provided a good framework for us; something new.
