A Beginning

The Connecticut Emergent Cohort met for the first time on March 23 in Glastonbury. We are fairly spread out geographically, so we are likely to move our meeting place around to equalize travel time. Our first meeting was spent mostly introducing ourselves and learning about each other and the ministry that we do.

We are looking forward to regular meetings for learning and mutual encouragement and invite anyone who is interested to join us. Our next meeting will be at First Congregational Church in Cheshire, CT. Rick Dacey, the senior pastor there, has graciously agreed to host us. You can get directions at http://www.cheshirecongregational.org/where.html. We'll be meeting on Thursday, April 27 at 7:00 PM. If you have any questions about the CT cohort, you can contact me, Tim Oslovich, at oslovich@hotmail.com. Also, please let me know if you'll be joining us so that we can be prepared for the right number of people. Thanks.

Emergent Connecticut

















by Nelson Costa

For the last few years a number of people have had the opportunity to give their time and energy to the effort of Emergent. While Emergent has attempted to be a flat, open and "non-agended" organization, this should not lead one to believe that it has not been organized or that much work has not gone into creating events, arranging publishing, coordinating the website, making connections between people, etc. There have been many people involved in this effort.
I have had the privilege of being one who could give my time and energy. I can say after one year I have benefited greatly from having been involved with the people of Emergent.

This is just the beginning stage of this community in Connecticut!!
