CRASE Presentation Coming Up
On Sunday, April 16, after worship at 12:30 p.m., all are invited to attend a presentation called Civilian Response to Active Shooter Event, or CRASE, given by Officer Frank Hall, Broad Street’s liaison with the Columbus Police Department. This presentation is the second of two offered on what to do and how to act in an active shooter situation, with staff and Sunday morning leaders attending the first. Bring a snack with you if needed in the half-hour beforehand.
4-Week Book Study: Enough
Join us for a 4-week study on Adam Hamilton’s book Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity. We’ll meet immediately following worship on April 16th, and each Sunday thereafter for four weeks to discuss what Hamilton calls the “joy and contentment that are found in simplicity and generosity, in faith and in pursuing your purpose in life.”

When a child comes out to their family, it often raises many questions for both the child and for the family.
For example:
What does it mean for the family when a child comes out to their parents?
What does it mean for the parents’ relationship to their church?
What does it mean for the parents’ own faith?
How do parents navigate their own “coming out” after their children have come out to them?
What is the impact on you and your family and especially your LGBTQ+ child with the disaffiliation process taking place currently in some UM congregations?
The sessions are designed to provide a safe space where questions and concerns can be dealt with openly and honestly.
Wednesdays, April 19, 26, May 3, and May 10
This session of the class will be held on Zoom. The meetings will begin at 7:00 p.m. and conclude by 8:30 p.m.
If you want to participate in the class, please email Jim at jwaugh3@mac.com. Put “Kids Class” in the Subject line. A few days prior to the class session, you will receive a Zoom invitation from Jim for the sessions.
The Rev. Jim Waugh, retired pastor in the West Ohio Conference, will lead the group. Jim and his wife, Carol, have an adult daughter, Lisa, who came out to them over twenty years ago. Jim served a four-year term as the chair of the Parents Reconciling Network Board (a group related to the Reconciling Ministries Network). If you have questions or need more information, please feel free to email Jim at jwaugh3@mac.com.
