The Portico
The Portico at Philly4Good
Welcome to the Portico,
a place to pause, explore, and discover something that speaks to your heart.
Here you’ll find featured writings, Sunday Eucharist scripture readings and reflections, our Instagram Prayer Room, opportunities to share your prayer requests, and other thoughtful resources from Philly4Good and beyond.
Follow what inspires you, linger with what moves you, and return whenever you need a little nourishment for the journey.
You will often hear mention of The Middle Room.
The Middle Room is a special place in Bethlehem House set aside for stillness, praying, and listening.
What begins here moves outward into the world, where faith asks to be lived.
