Discussion Questions for July 25th:
This Sunday marks the conclusion of our series on Leadership.  Leadership has been defined as: a process of social influence (not manipulation or coercion) in which a person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task.  Leadership isn't just for CEO's and politicians.  Any of us can lead in a myriad of contexts, e.g. our families, at work, in our community, at church, on a board, at school, on a team.  This series has looked at 6 leadership traits that start with the letter "C": collaboration, courage, compassion, connections, creativity and commitment.
  1. Which "leadership C" do you think you do best at, e.g. is your strength collaboration, compassion, etc.?
  2. What is a leadership trait or quality that you think is important that we haven't talked about?
  3. AND, this Sunday we'll start our discussion time with a fun ice breaker question:  what is your favorite food that your hometown is known for?
As life begins to open back up to more in-person activities, we believe it is essential to maintain online opportunities for people to engage. Throughout the pandemic we had an online gathering that became a unique experience in Christian community allowing people to engage from their own homes, while out of town, from their phones, etc. We have decided to continue this Sunday morning online gathering under the name Trinity Connect: Church From Anywhere. Trinity Connect provides the opportunity for an experience in consistent and cohesive Christian community for those whose life styles, physical conditions or abilities may make in-person gathering particularly challenging.

Trinity Connect will meet via Zoom from 9:15 to 10:00 every Sunday morning, beginning July 11, 2021. On the first and third Sundays of the month, the structure of Trinity Connect will look different:
  • First Sunday, Love Feast Inspired Service: The first Sunday of the month is when our in-person worship service observes Holy Communion. While we cannot do Communion in the traditional way online, we want to make sure that our online community can experience sharing a "meal" together. So, on the first Sunday of the month, bring your breakfast with you to the Zoom! We’ll give thanks to God and celebrate the ways we have been blessed and bless others.  We’ll consider a biblical “meal” story and how the story shapes our understanding of our relationships with God and others.
  • Third Sunday, Music-Centered Service: For those who find music to be an important part of their worship experience, we are dreaming up creative ways to incorporate music to our online service. A musical selection will be coordinated with a scripture to provide a spiritual focal point.  We’ll engage in prayer, reflection and discussion around the song and scripture.
On the other Sundays of the month, Trinity Connect will maintain the structure it has had since its beginning: 
  • Call to Worship
  • Reflection Questions & Dialogue
  • Scripture/Message
  • Prayer
  • Closing Fellowship
