THE KOINONIA WEEKEND
IN GREEK, KOINONIA (KOIN-O-NEE-A) MEANS A FELLOWSHIP. THE KOINONIA WEEKEND IS THAT - FOR IT BRINGS TOGETHER PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES FOR A LEARNING, SHARING, AND AN INSPIRATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN CHRISTIAN LIVING.
THE KOINONIA WEEKEND IS MANY THINGS, BUT MOST OF ALL, IT IS AN EXPERIENCE TO BE LIVED. THE WEEKEND IS ONE FILLED WITH JOY, MUCH INFORMAL CONVERSATION, MUCH SINGING, A LOT OF JOKING, AND LAUGHING. WITH IN THE FORTY HOURS OF THE WEEKEND, COMPLETE STRANGERS AT THE BEGINNING BECOME A CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY.
THE BASIC THEME OF THE KOINONIA WEEKEND IS "A SHORT COURSE IN CHRISTIANITY." THE WEEKEND IS STRUCTURED AROUND A SERIES OF NINE SHORT TALKS. THE TALKS COVER SUCH TOPICS AS: GOD'S GRACE, STUDY, ACTION, AND OTHER SUBJECTS RELEVANT TO LAYPERSONS. AFTER EACH TALK, THERE IS TIME TO DISCUSS THE TALK WITHIN A SMALL GROUP. THE TALKS PROVIDE THOUGHTS FOR DISCUSSION AND GUIDELINES FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING BEYOND THE WEEKEND.
