Miriam (Ippel) Barnes

I graduated from Western Theological Seminary with my MDiv this past May. In June I got married to Eric Barnes. And in July, we moved to Princeton where Eric is in his final year of seminary. A summer of change! It’s fun to be back east and closer to current and past CCO staffers and [...]

Sara Sackville

Hi CCO People!
I am currently living in Odenton, MD, working as a licensed therapist at a residential treatment center for adolescents. I love it, and I definitely recognize how my time in the CCO uniquely prepared me for this position. Working with kids in this setting gives the word “holistic” a whole new meaning!!! Some [...]

I have been living in Bellingham, Washington for three years now. It’s very green… Recently I self-published my first children’s book, called Simone Goes to the Market: A Children’s Book of Colors Connecting Face and Food.

I’m on the verge of completing my Master’s of Fine Arts in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I recently curated an exhibition in Chicago investigating the dynamics at play at the intersection of religion and contemporary art. Our family (wife Karen and three-year-old daughter Anna) has decided to stay in Chicago, and Karen is intending on returning to dancing full-time.

Jeff & Judy Winter

Since we moved to New England some friends from Philadelphia and Denver have called us “traitors.” Others have called us names that can’t be shared in a Christmas newsletter. Though we remain unapologetic Phillies and Eagles fans, it’s kind of nice to live in a part of the country where the major sports teams actually [...]

Denise Frame Harlan

Three years ago when my youngest child entered Kindergarten, I decided to write about the Beach Project for the CCO website. Praise from Amy Maczuzak and Byron Borger went straight to my head! In short, I’ve not stopped writing since then, and each step further gets more amazing.
I just started a Master of Fine Arts [...]

My wife Kristen and I welcomed our son, Jeremiah Thomas Fitzgerald, into the world on September 4, 2007. He is our first, and we are blessed to have him in our lives.
