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.

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 |
