Kaleo Canoe Trip

As the summer days have continued to grow more hot, Kaleo turned to the river for a Sunday. This past Kaleo Holiday, July 31st, we had "church on the river."

Sunday morning we gathered together with sandwiches and swimwear in hand ready to hit the water. We visited Canoe Music City and took eight of their canoes down the Harpeth River!

While Kaleo has had the opportunity to meet in the midst of nature this summer, this experience gave way to a serenity one can only experience out of the city peacefully floating down a beautiful body of water.

And while actually not all of the river may have been "peaceful," it was a gift being able to journey with each other through the rocks, rope swings, and slow moving moments...

This is what church is meant to be about... Finding oneself in the midst of a community, moving forward together, supporting one another, keeping one another afloat.

So, as Kaleo Nashville we are continually seeking God's will and learning what it means to journey together in this convoy known as the church, the body of Christ.

Journey with us as we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness together -

God is good!

Vegetation is continually growing in the Woodycrest Community Garden, and so are we.
Spring treated Kaleo well as a community and we are enjoying the fruition of Summer!

Recently we sent out our Spring Update - Newsletter, if you have not received one but would like to simply email us at KaleoNashville@gmail.com

We have been continuing to meet in the garden on Sundays and it has been a huge blessing to have this space we call our sanctuary. There is something old and sacred about meeting outdoors with nature that helps connect us with our Lord!

Not only has the garden been a platform for community to meet, but also by way of giving out vegetation to our neighbors it has served as a platform for acts of love. We plant, weed, water, eat, and share with one another.

We ask for your continually prayers as our small community is growing and others are finding their place with us and so finding themselves in a community where we together seek the face of God!

With Love,

- Caleb
Co-Pastor

We can rescue a girl from indentured servitude.

In the Dang District in western Nepal, many indigenous families from the Tharu ethnic group subsist as farm laborers. Unable to make ends meet, they have been forced into a desperate trade – selling their daughters to work far from home as bonded servants in private homes or as dishwashers in tea houses. Some of these children are as young as six.

Alone and far from home, these "indentured daughters" have no knowledge of the ways of city people or of other cultures, and most speak only the local dialect. Their living conditions are entirely at the discretion of their employers. The bonded girls seldom attend school and have no prospects for a decent future. Some are ultimately forced into prostitution. A donation of $100 will rescue a girl from indentured servitude, let her come home to live with her family, and provide her family with a baby goat or piglet as compensation for the lost wages. She is then free to go to school, and she may be the first member of her family to get an education.

-- Doubt Night --

Doubt Night is an evening hosted by Kaleo Nashville for anyone to come and share their thoughts and doubts about certain issues that may normally be "taboo" or not socially accepted or addressed.

This will be done anonymously and addressed by a panel made up of a few different pastors of local churches and professors.

The goal isn't to come and 'get answers', but to first understand that it is okay to have doubts. Doubting is part of being human and we all have them. For too long, unfortunately, the church hasn't been the safest place to voice these kinds of thoughts. This is something that should change.

As Kaleo we hope that this Doubt Night is simply the beginning of many discussions to come as we are all journeying through life together.
