Ironically, Nomad Supply, found on the Community of Communities website, is not a community. A great guy name Beau started a ministry with his wife Ashley of serving people who live out of their cars following bands. They handed out bibles and food for months at a time, with a couple weeks of break in between. As they met more and more artists and craftsman, they opened a store called Nomad Supply. It has transformed into a decent-sized fairtrade, eco-friendly store.
Jeremy picked us up at the greyhound station and took us to the Wolnsky’s for lunch. (He bought us Arby’s). The Wolnsky’s are a family of ten. They invite everyone over to their considerably large house to eat lunch after church at Shades Fellowship. It’s a BYOL thing. We got to meet a lot of the the folks who attend Shades there.
After that we hung out with Jeremy at his place until Emuna. (Also at Shades) It’s supposed to be an “alternative worship service”, but I’m pretty sure that’s just because the adults are too embarrassed to call it youth group.
Kellee and I got to stay with the Stalcup family, which includes Parke and her husband Jeff, and their FIVE boys, ranging from 4 to 11. The evenings were filled with meaningful conversations with the Parke and Jeff, while the days were spent messing around with the kids. We even got to go to the zoo before I left.
