CommunityLife Review
The CommunityLife Cluster is taking a deep look at how our CommunityLife Ministry is advancing. The team includes our CommunityLife co-chair for Direction, Ken Holt, Robynn
Shannon (a cluster member) and Brian Wylie who is serving as the chair. Brian and Robynn were deeply involved in the planning of our CommunityLife initiative in 2008 and each of them is or has been a group leader. The team has prepared a series of questions for CommuniyLife group leaders and members to gauge how this ministry is doing. They plan on conducting face-to-face interviews as well, all for learning what we can do to improve the availability of authentic Christian community to every member and friend of Trinity.
We invite your participation; if you want to speak with someone on ther team please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
A New Group in Glastonbury
Jeff & Charlotte Ross are forming a new CommunityLife group in Glastonbury with a four-week small group experience of The Power of a Whisper. This group is geared for everyone interested in spiritual growth and fellowship. After this study, they'll be doing Re-Group, and then consider various topical studies related to the group's interests. Want to know more? Contact us through the GroupFinder.
What is "Re-Group"?
Helping a small group of people to experience authentic Christian community is not an easy task. In the past, most efforts to equip 
leaders of small groups has centered on providing the vision of what a group should be about and to impart specific "process skills" to leaders for facilitating groups. Regroup , is a revolutionary new curriculum created to equip leaders and groups simultaneously and gives them everything they need to start and sustain a life-changing CommunityLife group. All it requires is a small group and a DVD player. Re-Group is an important part of how we equip CommunityLife groups at Trinity.
The Re-Group curriculum includes four sixty-minute sessions to train leaders and group members in the foundational values and practices of becoming a life-changing community. These sixty-minute sessions include teaching by the authors, creative segments, and activities and discussion time. During each session the group has the chance to review and learn new group life techniques.
