Roots & Rising Storytelling

Aug 05, 2025 Topics: Facilitating and Learning, Ministry Practices

At Toronto Chinese Mennonite Church (TCMC), our community came together with curious minds and open hearts. Using prompts like Who, What, Where, Why, When, and How, congregational members asked thoughtful questions about faith, the church, and their spiritual journey.

Rising Roots Question Cards From over 80 questions, eight meaningful themes were created. These questions now serve as a guide and inspiration for storytellers helping them reflect, connect, and share their stories.
