Common Ground's Summer Picnics

This summer, Common Ground will be having a series of community picnics. With three different locations at three different times - plus our annual Hagg Lake Sunday! - we hope everyone will have the opportunity to attend at least one picnic. (You can come to all three if you'd like!) Invite friends and family to come hang out with us at one of the following picnics:

• Monday, June 22nd, 6pm. Evelyn M. Schiffler Park in Beaverton.
• Saturday, July 18th, 12pm. Shute Park in Hillsboro.
• Wednesday, August 5th, 6pm. Cedar Hills Park Beaverton
• Sunday, August 16th. Hagg Lake Sunday!

For each picnic, please bring a main dish for you and your guests, a side and/or a dessert to share, and something to drink. Common Ground will provide plates, cups, utensils, napkins, and some bottled water.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 971.205.2427.

Breadcrumbs: Looking for Biblical Clues to Answer Tough Questions

What’s the first question you want to ask God when you see Him? Is there that one tough question about the Christian faith you hope no one ever asks you? Or maybe there are just times when being a Christian leaves you more confused than enlightened? The questions are many but answers can be hard to come by. We’re going to try and find those answers as a church family. On June 21, we’ll start digging into God’s Word to see what He has to say to us with a sermon series called “Breadcrumbs: Looking for Biblical Clues to Answer Tough Questions.” Every sermon topic will be chosen randomly from questions turned in by our church members. We will reveal one question every Sunday starting June 14. That same question will be answered the following Sunday in Pastor Avery's message.

Invite family and friends to join us as we seek out those breadcrumbs in search of God’s Grace and God’s will for us.

What Is God Up To?

If you’re like me, you read the headlines or watch the news and you can’t help asking yourself, “What’s God up to?” The web, newspapers and TV are filled with stories that make you wonder – Christianity is reported to be in decline while believers are attacked and persecuted around the world. Is there even a reason to hope? Of course there is! This weekend Common Ground Church introduces a series of speakers from regions around the world where Christianity faces some of its most serious challenges; Africa, Europe and yes, here in the United States. For the next three weeks we’ll hear from those who are dedicating their lives to spreading the Word. We’ll hear about their challenges and their opportunities. There is Good News and cause for hope! Come join us and find out why.
