Who
is The Outer Circle and why such a
strange name you ask.
We
are a group of couples who started to get to
know each other during coffee hour. We talked
lightly for a long time about getting together
outside of church, which then formed a basis to
create a social group. The name “Outer Circle”
evolved due to the fact that a lot of us are the
parents forming the outer protective circle
around our little “snackers” at the children’s
table during coffee hour.
We
have been getting together for a year now and
some of our activities have been: bowling,
feather bowling, game night (because it was too
cold to go sledding as originally planned),
Girls-Night-Out dancing, Boys-Day-Out golfing,
canoeing, laser tag, hayride and just hanging
out together. Sometimes we arrange sitters and
pool our resources together to ease the cost of
sitters and sometimes we leave it to each family
to figure out child care on their own. We don’t
all have kids and we don’t all have little
ones. The only thing I think that we have in
common is that we are all couples who want to
get to know others in the church a little
better. Oh, and we like to have fun and laugh!
In March, some of us met up at Bonaventure,
minus the kids, and experienced a little
flashback weekend. Some of us were old school,
on our roller skates and some of us were brave
enough for the roller blades. Following our
skating adventure, we headed over to meet a few
more people at BD’s Mongolian BBQ in Novi, for
dinner.
APRIL EVENT:
On Saturday, April 5th,
we’ll be meeting up at Putting Edge for some
glow-in-the-dark Putt Putt Golf. Putting Edge
is located on the west side of Fountain Walk,
which is located just west of Novi Road and
south of 12 Mile, in Novi. Tee time is 6:00 pm
and the cost is $7 per person for the first 18
holes and $3 for each additional game (if we
feel like playing more).
After we play, we can go out to dinner.
If this sounds like you, or you are just
interested in more information, or want to be
added to our e-mail list, please e-mail Sharon
Gesse at
Dsgesse@aol.com.
We don’t have meetings; we just meet one
Saturday evening a month so all of our
arrangements are done over e-mail.
