Fusion meets Monday, June 15 at 6 pm

Bee Overbey, Fusion speaker for June 15.
This month’s Fusion speaker, Bee Redfield, a PhD research fellow at Purdue, will share with us her journey and the way that she connects with her spirituality through nature. From working with leopards, apes, black bears, and all manner of creepy-crawlies, Bee has been involved in wildlife conservation and care for over 20 years. She is happy to now work on conservation, reforestation, and saving native bird species in Hawai’i through Purdue’s TropHTIRC laboratory.

Bring your story. Bring you.

Fusion is a once-monthly gathering offering an alternative experience in Christian community.  It’s designed for individuals who might describe themselves as “spiritual, but not religious” and as seeking a sense of community, but may not be attracted to traditional, or even contemporary, church worship services. 

Fusion features a speaker sharing a personal story based upon a specific topic and a bible (sacred) story connected to their own experiences.  At the conclusion of the speaker’s narrative, participants are invited to join in “table talk” to share their personal stories and perspective in a facilitated, small group setting.  Fusion concludes with a free meal.  You are invited to connect, discover and grow within this community.  Fusion Kids is offered for children Pre-K through grade 5.

Can’t physically make it to Fusion?  It’s live streamed on our Fusion Facebook page.

Trinity Fusion meets third Mondays at 6 pm.
