âTaproot PNW
![Dec 11th: âThe more I did my own [braids], the more I noticed others' braids as well. I would learn to appreciate our shared kinship. Our braids were our ancestors, our heritage, and our culture. Our designs were our creativity and our individuality. Braids bind us in ways that go beyond the physicalâwe are forever entwined.
Ruth and Naomi find themselves bound by their widowhood and familial grief. And while Orpah made the choice to return to her village, Ruth bound herself to her mother-in-law: âWhere you go, I will go.â They too have
spiritual connections that are deeper than the surface.â
âfrom the artistâs statement for âBinding Braidsâ by Rev. Nicolette Peñaranda (@nicolette.faison), inspired by Ruth 1 | @sanctifiedart](https://scontent-sea5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/472717811_122132908484501699_7213304869838682093_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=_f_srWAcjH4Q7kNvwGFwHNf&_nc_oc=AdnJksSu_3tnjWpSTbY56rL8vTzJGTLnhsvC8P7S00kqjZ9UVwG6CThMo1VZ33pa9G0&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sea5-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=t9ow5z_MKCGw-DJ-wUAbbw&oh=00_Afe2jFhT--xX82Gu4vsdWWa-1qqFhvHbhEQKSEbcJA7JaQ&oe=68FB5464)

Our Community
Taproot PNW is a growing community of heart centered folx seeking connection with Christ and Community
in the midst of the natural world.
â
We are a community of all ages and backgrounds, and strive to lead all who worship with us towards a deeper love for the Creative Dreamer and the Natural World.
We come from a variety of backgrounds and we welcome you to join us at the table or around the fire.
â
Visit us at Camp Magruder in Rockaway, Oregon.
Come as you are.
Bring a camp chair and dress in layers.
We worship outdoors as often as possible.
â
When the weather is very cold or wild, we may move inside one of the lodges where we can still view the natural world and stay warm and dry.
"When I look at your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars that You have established, what are humans that You are mindful of them, mortals that You care for them?”
Psalm 8:3-4, NRSVUE
