One year ago, Amanda and I embarked on our Year of Sundays tour of the Portland church scene. To celebrate, we decided to head back to my roots in North Portland and visit a full gospel church, just like we did in our first week of blogging<\/a>. That’s how we landed at Emmanuel Temple Church. Can I have an amen!<\/p>\n
