Welcome

The current installment of the COEC began meeting in 2007.

We are currently on a "break," for no particular reason, and many little reasons - mostly pertaining to life circumstances. If anyone is interested in calling a meeting, feel free to post on the blog, join the google group (see link below) and send an email, or contact either Nancy (nancykj10@yahoo.com) or Jesse (schroeder.jesse@gmail.com) for more information.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Sunday, November 30th Roll Call

Hi everyone. We need to decide if we would like to gather this Sunday for a Celebration. There has been some talk of a simple meal (of leftovers?) and a simple prayer/worship service. Please comment below if you would like to and be able to attend something on Sunday afternoon or evening. If there is enough interest we can start trying to find a place to meet.

Thanks!

Sunday, November 23--Discussion

Hi folks,

This week our discussion will be focusing on the broad and often controversial theme of human sexuality. It seems to me that we live in a culture that is both hyper-sexual (i.e. advertising, movies, TV, music, etc.) and anti-sexual (mostly in terms of our explicitly articulated societal/religious mores). Mostly the healthy middle ground seems to get lost. Unfortunately, in my experience, the church is afraid or unwilling to take on this topic, which leaves many people of faith trying to fend for themselves. So here are some questions to get you thinking/discussing:


1) How do you define sex/sexuality?

2) How do we confuse and conflate physicality, intimacy, and sexuality and where do they legitimately overlap?

3)What guidelines/principles/etc. should Christians be operating under (or at least considering) with respect to sexuality?

Of course, these are only prompts and we can go where the group wants. Feel free to comment ahead of time if you so desire.

We'll meet again at the Global Gallery (3535 N. High St.) in Clintonville at 3:00.

See you there!

Sunday November 9 Discussion

Hi everyone! Here are the details for this weekend's discussion:

We will be talking about the relationship between God's sovereignty, God's will, and the role of our faith and choices. Should offer lots of great opportunities for us to share different challenges we are currently facing and some bigger questions about God and faith. Thanks Nancy for suggesting this topic and offering to lead the discussion!

We will meet at Global Gallery on 3535 N. High St (google map here) in Clintonville at 3:00pm. See ya there!
