UPDATE: March 16 Fusion has been CANCELLED

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 in the Great Room

Join us on Monday, March 16th, at 6 p.m. when our Fusion storyteller is Mike Herzog.  Mike, who resides here in the Centennial Neighborhood, is a best-selling author, executive coach, and Life Design coach.  For the past 25 years, Mike has been working with individuals and organizations to create profound and sustained change.  He believes very deeply in the human potential and Mike also believes that it’s Never Too Late to design a life you love.  Mike will share his powerful story of personal transformation that occurred in 2014, while he was deep in the Gila National Forest, during a 5-day vision quest, a wonderful focus for the season of Lent.  Mike will also have copies of his book Never Too Late with him at Fusion if anyone would like to purchase the book.

Our April storyteller will be Rune Nielsen, comic artist, writer and pastor.  She will share her story of living in Hong Kong where she attended seminary and was in ministry.  In Hong Kong, she worked as a radio speaker for Hong Kong Religious Broadcasting, where her most notable segment was Spirituality and Noodles.  She also served the Hong Kong Christian Council and the Tao Fong Shan Christ Temple Congregation in pastoral positions, where she became known for her comic-themed services. She currently works at the Wesley Center. 

Fusion Sunday is March 8
 On Sunday, March 8, during morning worship, we’ll highlight our Fusion ministry.  Fusion is Trinity’s primary outreach.  That morning’s worship, using the scripture of John 2 and focusing on the Table of Celebration will help us all get a better grasp of how Fusion provides a space for people to
connect, discover and grow.  The miracle at the wedding feast in Cana (John, chapter 2) is a reminder of God’s deep longing for his people to connect and share their lives with one another.  We hope the March 8 morning worship will inspire you to reach out and invite someone to participate in Fusion.

​Video of all of the Storytellers can be viewed on the Trinity Fusion Facebook Page. 

It's winter, and sometimes that means snow. ​Please check the Fusion Facebook page or www.trinitylafayette.org for any weather related cancellations.
