Community Church Weeks
Church on the Rock is one of five area churches that will kick off the Clergy Ambassador Program by being hosts to Community Church Weeks,
a series of week long programs open to the entire New Haven
Community. The information below is just the week assigned to COTR to
fill. I look forward to posting the events and programs being hosted by
the other four churches. In the future, other churches and other faiths
will be included, but it appears that we are off to a great start in
this unprecedented collaboration!

Session Title: Dialogue to Create Safer & Healthier Neighborhoods
Facilitators: Community Mediation
Description: In
2010/2011, Community Mediation organized and facilitated a series of
dialogues in various neighborhoods to create connections between
residents and the police and plan strategies to create safe and healthy
neighborhoods. We would like to continue in that thread since the
community did not have an opportunity to meet a third time to choose
strategies and create action plans. The goal of this two-hour dialogue
will be to choose strategies from the list brainstormed by residents and
police last year and actually discuss what is needed to implement these
strategies and assign responsibilities to those willing to make a
change in their neighborhood. Participants will participate in small
group discussions that will then be presented to the larger group. All
facilitators will have been trained by CM and will be a combination of
adult and youth from the New Haven region.
Friday, August 10, 2012

Instruction will also be given on how to construct a resume using
Microsoft Word. Laptops will be available for you to use.
