Trinity Small Groups on ZOOM
Small groups meet on Sunday morning at 11, Sunday afternoon at 4, Tuesday morning at 10 and Thursday evening at 7
Beginning January 17 – 5 Sessions on Civil Discourse
- As a culture, we share many more values than we think we do.
- In hour- long small group Zoom sessions, we will talk about civil discourse as a skill we can personally develop and use to build healthier communities.
- Our small groups will view and discuss a series of 3 – 6 minute videos by representatives and teachers from across the church who model civil discourse as “conversation intended to enhance understanding.”
- The goal of these conversations is to be in deeper relationship and to more truly know the dignity and worth of each other.
