Location: Yigebe Ethiopian Coffee

Throughout April, Pastor Ari took you up on recommendations for coffee places to check out around the city. And y’all joined in on the exploration, too! In May, join Pastor Ari around Northeast Portland as he tries to become a regular whose order is just “the usual.” Especially as we start to move from hot beverages to iced ones, I hope you might join in!

Please consider this your open invitation to stop by for a pastry, to chat for a while, to work-from-home, to bring the stroller, to read for a few hours.

The Portland Revels are one of the community groups that often uses many of the different spaces around Grant Park Church. Perhaps you have heard them rehearsing before!

Their Spring show titled “At the Root” is the premier work of local actor, singer, songwriter Lo Steele. This performance distinctly celebrates the bonds that women build through the ritual of styling one another’s hair. In typical Revels-fashion, the show will include choral singing and audience participation. It is set up to be an absolutely fantastic time!

A small group of folks will be attending the show in downtown Portland together. Please reach out to Pastor Ari ahead of time with your expressed interest — we will reserve tickets and sit together! (ari@grantparkchurch.com)

Do you live in the Grant Park, Irvington, Sullivans Gulch, Hollywood, or Lloyd neighborhoods? Have you been trying to get rid of “the big stuff” when it comes to trash?

The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability is hosting neighborhood events around the city where people who live in the area can get rid of large, bulky trash items.

This is a free service, run by the city, which Grant Park Church is hosting in the parking lot. The event will run from 9am until 1pm, or until the dumpsters are filled. For more specific information as to what you can and cannot bring, check the city’s website below for specific Dumpster Day instructions for each neighborhood.

Be sure to reuse, re-home, and recycle as best you can before taking advantage of this free event!
