Title: The Porch

Location: The Center of the Vortex for the directionally challenged

Celebration Dinner: Carla & Satya are spending the night tonight.  They are preparing to go on a trip to Seymour, Tennessee where Carla will be one of the dancers at a Sun-Moon dance ritual. Satya (John) will be her support person.  Dinner was prepared by the lovely Mistress Heather and included a salad of red leaf lettuce, persian cucumbers, avacados, amazing cheese that Carla brought, with a raspberry-fig vingerette.  Main course was a craw-fish Ettouffe with a pinch of cilantro, served with Frenc Battard bread.  The evenings meal ended with dessert, a Pavlova topped with delicious fresh strawberries and juicy passion fruit.  Desert also included Pots of Creme with wonderful fresh wipped creme dabbed on top.

Communion: Preston prepared Celebration communion to include a round of the agave nectar.  The secret recipe (the standard communion of Church of the Porch) was provided for all to wet their juicy lips.

Ongoing Requests: The Church is in need of agave (ninety-nine and 44/100% pure preferred), and La Croix Orange in cans. For those interested in making a special gift a nice bottle of Champagne (the French kind) would be particularly appreciated.  We're sorry to ask for this but there seems to be an evaporation factor that is high at Church of the Porch.  Money is always good too.

The Bed bed was uncovered and Carla had the opportunity to “sling up” beside a few of the congregants. Miss Anne (Satya)was running around taking lots of pictures.

A variety of music was provided by The Irreverend.  The Irreverend played for a few of the congregants part of an old Carman Miranda movie.

Basic Beliefs

• There is something bigger than ourselves.
• None of us will ever truly understand the universe we experience.
• While each of us only knows our own path, we can still help others along theirs, and through that they will return the favor for us.

Membership

The Church of The Porch has many different membership categories. Depending on your circumstances you may only be eligible for some of them. The Church will not normally invite anyone to become a member; the privilege is yours to invite yourself.

• Associate Members: Have visited The Porch or attended Porch events, but are not fully active in Church functions.

Church Leaders

• The Irreverend: Presides over Porch activities by humbly serving the other congregants. He is royal consort to The Queen.
• The Queen (Mistress Heather): serves delicious & nurturing delicacies as well as wisdom and occasionally dishes out the appropriate spankings and discipline. She also is Head Priestess of The Altar of Culinary Delights (the kitchen).  She provides “adequate female supervision” for those oozing at the seams with testerone.
• The Dea-CON-ess (Satya/Seer): Miss Anne with the big-ass red hats is the current spiritual guide. She follows each of the congregants pointing out possibilities.
• Awakened: Self-styled Anarchist dispenses wise advice and wise-cracks to the deserving. This is only our eighth lifetime of knowing him so we still call him “the new guy”. He does run the Archetypes and Spiritual Development POD here on Zaadz, and that is very cool.
