The MEESC meetings are held at 2 different levels:

Diocesan Level Member Meetings

The membership of MEESC across the Diocese of Minnesota meets quarterly on a weekend close to the quarters of the solar year (solstice and equinox) and usually include an overnight at a church or other local facility. The meeting dates and locations for 2008 are as noted below:

The next Quarterly meeting is listed here.

Regional Chapter Meetings

There are many individuals who cannot attend the longer quarterly membership meetings but wish to be active at their home congregations or in their geographic areas. For those individuals, MEESC has established Regional Chapters. These meetings are generally on an evening and last only a few hours. Frequency of meetings is left up to the individual chapters.

The following are the Regional Chapters and their next scheduled meeting:
