Trinity Koinonia 7: Community in Christ

For all of our friends and family (particularly parishioners of Holy Family, St. Elizabeth, and St. Mary/St. Mark parishes here in Granite City):

Registration is now open for Trinity Koinonia 7. TK-7, as it's called in shorthand, will be held at Holy Family Parish on March 19-21 of this year.

“Koinonia” is a Greek word meaning “community.” Koinonia is a community experience in Christian living designed especially for adults. In a Koinonia weekend, you encounter Christ first-hand in the community of fellow believers that forms and experiences the weekend together.

The purpose of Koinonia is two-fold. The first is to offer a time and place for experiencing the reality of Christian community, fellowship, and sharing. The second is to provide a depth of faith-sharing support that allows and challenges inner renewal for each participant.

The weekend is designed for anyone who wants to deepen his/her relationship with God, enhance his/her own spirituality and for anyone who would like to spend time with a group of people with like interests. Participants come from various walks of life, age spans, and faiths.

It's a weekend of great food, awesome talks and testimonials, of worship and good new friendships, of music and fun and laughter.

You could call Koinonia a retreat, but it's more than just a retreat.

You could call Koinoina an encounter weekend, but it's more than just an encounter weekend.

I am honored and humbled to have been called to be the lay director for this weekend, and am pleased at the team members that Christ called to join me in this effort. Two priests, Father Larry and Father Chris, will be with us through the weekend to preside over the sacraments and spiritual matters.

TK7 is March 19-21, 2010. It begins on Friday evening at 5:00 p.m. and concludes at 4:00 p.m. Sunday evening. Participants return home at the end of each day and return the following morning. Participants are required to commit to the entire weekend community unless there is an emergency.

The theme of the Koinonia weekend is the Paschal Mystery; the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This central teaching of our faith is discussed and shown how it can be applied to our daily lives. During the weekend the church year – Lent, Easter, Pentecost – is expressed in the three days.

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and help you in your decision to commit to this grace-filled weekend.

I sincerely hope you'll join us.
