A to Z - Connect Groups
Week Three
One, two, threes
One, two, three, one to three, this week we are waltzing in 3/3 time as we consider the fractal patterns, the unfolding stories, the continuing dance, the beautiful movement of the Trinity.
Check out our A to Z Resource Pack to see all the letters N to T.
SEEDS TO SOW:
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE ‘TRINITY’ TO SOMEONE WHO HAD NEVER HEARD THE CONCEPT BEFORE? (GOOD LUCK) *
Read Psalm 139: 1-12
O - Omnipresent. Another hefty word! God is everywhere! So God has been with us through it all. Through. It. All. God knows us deeply and loves us anyway.
How do you tend to think about God’s omnipresence in relation to your life? The fact that God has been with you every step of the way?
Read Matthew 11: 28-30
R - Rest. Do we place enough importance on rest in our contemporary faith and discipleship? How can we cultivate a wider culture of rest and compassion when many people are suffering from stress and burnout intensified by pandemic, conflict, and pressures from cost of living increases and climate change?
Read 2 Corinthians 13: 13
T - Trinity. Do you think the Trinity is something we can ever get our heads around? How did you got on with the ‘Seed to Sow’ above? Isn’t it weird that the word trinity never appears in the Bible?
* SEEDS TO SOW: These are open-ended and optional prompts and are designed for people wanting to develop their own resources in response to the themes. Perhaps if you are using this material as a group you could use these prompts to inspire a time of prayer, or drawing, or creative writing? They are a short and sweet, simply a starting off place for you and your imagination. Tailor and develop as suits your group.
