Dale, Pat and I hosted eleven members of the Landing Place Community at the Catholic Worker house this past Saturday.Like us, they are primarily a group of Christians who live together in intentional communities. They share several houses mostly in the Franklinton area of Columbus.
We enjoyed a dinner together and gave the group a tour of our new digs. It was the first time we utilized the fancy serving dishes and table settings we inherited from the Dominican sisters!
We learned about each others' communities. It seems like there are plenty of ways we can be involved together, such as sharing prayer time or ministry work. We offered our space for them as a retreat center or as a quiet place to study or pray. Their counsel will be important as they have lived in community for a while and can help us through the bumps and obstacles that no doubt lay ahead of us.
Pictured above is Jeremy leading the group in a verse of, "Gonna lay down my 401(k) down by the riverside."
Many hearty thanks to Jonathan M. who helped us organize this event! Check out his rain barrels--they are both an economic and environmentally beneficial improvement to any household!
