Did you come to the festival or serve in the Season of Service and get surprised by God? Did you talk with someone whose life was changed by Him? Do you have a story? We want to hear it! Send us an and tell us about it.

Weather.com predicts a high of 83 degrees today, Day 2 of Portland CityFest. It also says there’ll be nothing but “abundant sunshine.” Since when does a weather service use a word like “abundant” ?! I don’t know, but I think it means God is smiling.
