Intentional Communities are often called communes.  We do not call ourselves a commune as that has a connotation of illegal or immoral activities to some people.  We do live a form of communal living, so some might call us a Christian commune or even a Christian kibbutz.  Explore this site and read more about us.

Relationships	Love Letters
Three Kings Day celebration on January 5th A time of worship and gift giving remembering the Christ child who came for all people and the wise men who brought him to the Gentiles. See more.	Love one another Letters to my Plow Creek Fellowship communal friends This morning I was reading about Jesus three times asking, "Peter do you love me?"  When Peter declares his love Jesus says, "Feed my lambs...tend my sheep...feed my lambs."  I would like to nurture your love for Jesus and one another with brief weekly (unless not) letters..... We have taken many steps as a communal group but it seems we are often invited to take new steps.... None of us knows exactly where the Lord will lead us through the next steps. I hope that every so often we can fall on our butts and laugh with glee because God is going to teach us new steps and send us toddling off in a new direction. Blessings, dear friends, Rich Elder Rich Foss's letters to Plow Creek April 4, 2009          Go to letters
