After coming home from church to visit with Liz and the kids I headed downtown for a quick visit to a fundraiser held for Transition Projects, Inc. (TPI). TPI is the largest provider of services to homeless single adults – women and men – in Portland. About ten years ago I served on their staff. If you’re in Portland and looking for an agency to support or volunteer at this is one of the places you should consider.
The new Oregon Center for Christian Values (OCCV) hosted Jim Wallis, author and editor of Sojourners Magazine, at a packed to capacity event tonight at First Baptist Church. This was my second stop of the evening. Wallis announced a few new initiatives – one of which I’ll have more to say about of Monday – and preached an inspiration Gospel-centered message about social justice in America. Good stuff. OCCV will be hosting a faith-based training session this Saturday for those interested in learning more about how to be an activist.
