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.

Details for Sat. Night Dinner

Thanks everyone for signing up today! - the food distribution looks great. If you didn't get a chance to sign up, (or don't know what I'm writing about), we will be serving dinner at the LowerLights ministry on Saturday night (June 21st). This is a time designed for families to come and have a sit-down, healthy meal and to spend time together as families. Everyone is welcome to join us, whether you made it to the discussion today or not. Here are some details:

Arrive at Bellows Ave. Church of the Naz. b/w 4:15-4:30pm - (1066 Bellows Avenue Columbus, OH) - Guests will begin to arrive around 4:30, and we will socialize and chat for a bit. Then dinner starts at 5 -

After dinner, there will probably be a short service upstairs, which we can attend, or help clean up from dinner. We'll probably be done around 7 or 7:30.

There is talk about maybe just going out to a bar or hanging out for a bit....the "movie" or "putt-putt" idea is off the table....More info to come this week, or if you have questions you can post here or email me at schroeder.jesse@gmail.com

Upcoming Dates

Hi everyone - just some business here regarding the next two weeks activities. Let me know your feedback, likes/dislikes, ideas, etc.

June 15th is scheduled to be a discussion week, and I've asked Rachel Swartz of LowerLights ministry to come and share with us some of her experiences working with inner city families. I thought it could be cool to a get more balanced perspective as we prepare for serving dinner on Sat. June 21st.

So if everyone is cool with it, we can plan for a "normal" discussion week, Sun. June 15th, 3-5pm at Global Gallery, with the topic being poverty in Columbus. Perhaps some frisbee/games in the park again afterwards?

Then Sat. June 21st is an opportunity to serve a meal to some families connected with LowerLights. This will be from about 4:30-7:30pm altogether, and there is no obligation, but it'd be great to have some people come and also help to provide food and drinks.

I know that week is scheduled to be a "super-fun" week, and so I thought that perhaps we could move our weekly activity to that same Saturday night, the 21st. Then we could come up with a "super-fun" idea to invite the families from dinner to participate in as well. Perhaps a movie night at the church, putt-putt golfing, or something similar.

Ideas? Thoughts?
