What's Happening at Trinity

The Story That Is YOU

3/31/2019

In July, 2019, Morris DuBose began a grant-funded position as Trinity’s Narrative Consultant.  Trinity has built our discipleship and outreach around narrative and story.  Trinity Fusion (our Monday evening gathering) fuses together sacred story and our personal stories and experiences.  Last summer we hosted Unfinished, monthly gatherings for story telling.  Previously, Morris led a small group of church members who came together to share their life stories and experiences with one another.
​
What makes our stories so important?  Why have we chosen narrative as the primary format for our discipleship and outreach?  Because, as Irene Nowell writes:  “telling our stories leads us to understand who we are… If our stories are not told, the depth of our souls will not be known.”

As we continue to explore new and exciting ways to engage the community both within and external to Trinity we are fine tuning our approach to our storytelling and narrative. We are pivoting from our original Storytelling Group model, that featured designated storytellers with hour and a half presentations, to the Unfinished Circle.

The Unfinished Circle will meet on Wednesdays beginning on April 3rd, continuing weekly at 5:30pm in Trinity’s Great Room. We will create a space for small scale storytelling that will center around specific themes. People are invited to share, listen, or of course do both. Come to as few or as many evenings as you want. If a specific topic inspires a particularly compelling story, contact Morris DuBose at motres+story@gmail.com or leave a message at the church office.
