L’ARCHE OUT LOUD
Once a week all of our homes gather to spend time together as a community and share life together. Our discussions and activities on these evenings strive to create inclusive ways to engage core members (adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities living in community).
We follow a schedule of events every month in order to spread out our focus to several different themes.
First Tuesday- L'Arche Green Express Studio monthly dance
Second Tuesday- birthday/anniversary celebration
Third Tuesday- spending time outdoors
Fourth Tuesday- arts and crafts/talent show
Fifth- potluck/formation
The goal of L’Arche Out Loud is for our community and its Core Members to be present in the world around us and to feel it necessary to exist, loudly in public places.
We love to welcome guests to our L’Arche Out Loud nights. Please contact the office if you would like to schedule a week to join our community in this special tradition.
community nights
Since 1988, the extended friends and families of L’Arche Heartland have been gathering on the second Friday of every month for food and fellowship. Community Night is an opportunity for the entire community, along with those who support us, to celebrate our relationships with one another on a monthly basis. The majority of months we meet at 6:00pm and share a dinner together, L’Arche generally provides the main dish and everyone in attendance brings a side or dessert. Community Nights are casual, crowded, and always fun!
The location varies and a reminder is emailed the week of to announce the theme of the meal so those in attendance can coordinate their contributions.
