1.  Choose a notetaker:
   Every breakout group needs a notetaker: someone who can capture the essence of what folks share. (Notetaker instructions below.)
2. Introduce yourself and respond to question #1.
   Each person introduces themselves and shares their responses, if they have one, to question number 1 (see below.)
3. Discuss another question.
   Once everyone has shared, pick another question. Try to make your way through the questions, but you probably won’t get to all of them. It doesn’t have to be in order. These questions are meant to help us share what the Church has been for us and to dream about what it might become. We’ll spend about 30 minutes sharing. We’ll check in every 10 minutes to let you know how time is going.
4. Review
   You will receive a message that review time has begun. Notetakers, please take the next ten minutes to briefly review the highlights of your notes with your group. Groups, as you listen: is anything important missing? Anything final to add or clarify?
5. Send
   Notetakers, please send your notes to listen@ctk-nashville.org. 

Notetakers, you don’t need to capture every word. Try to capture general ideas. Bullet points are fine. You’ll have time at the end to summarize these notes with those at your table and capture anything that’s missing. 

You may use whatever format you like (digital or legible pen/paper). If you like, you can use the following templates for your notes:

Please send your notes to listen@ctk-nashville.org.

Participation:

1. Do you find it easy to get involved in the life of the church? What about other people? If yes, how so? If not, why not?

Communion:

2. Do Christ the King’s Sunday liturgies and other sacramental/liturgical celebrations help you feel connected to God? Do they help you feel part of a spiritual family? If yes, how so? If not, why not? What would help?

3. How is Christ the King reaching those who might be at the periphery of the community (i.e. marginalized, disabled, disadvantaged, and neglected)? How does the parish provide a space that is inclusive to those of different cultures, racial identities, socio-economic statuses, or sexual/gender identities? How can we build community?
 

Mission:

4. Do you feel encouraged and equipped to share your faith with people with other faith backgrounds and listen to their stories? 

5. Do you think Christ the King engages with social justice issues facing the wider community?

1. Let’s all share the air. Make sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
2. Respect one another without interrupting. It might happen that someone shares something you really don’t like. That’s okay. You’ll have an opportunity to share your own point of view. No need to solve disagreements right now. This is about listening, not solving problems.
3. What’s said here stays here; what’s learned here leaves here. Notetakers aren’t going to attach your name to your comments, and we’ll all make sure to do the same.
 

We stand before You, Holy Spirit,
as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us,
make Yourself at home in our hearts;
Teach us the way we must go
and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful;
do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path
nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity
so that we may journey together to eternal life
and not stray from the way of truth
and what is right.
All this we ask of You,
who are at work in every place and time,
in the communion of the Father and the Son,
forever and ever.
Amen.
