Fill the pews with a Saturday & Sunday MissionMost parishes do a three day mission. While they are effective with a particular segment of you parish community, it does not work for younger families and young adults.
Bob believes you can reach younger adults and families with a slight change of perspective. Between sports, school activities, scouts, and other family obligations, it is difficult to find three days that are not already planned and scheduled months in advance. Even without activities, by the time dinner is over and homework is completed, it is time to wind down for the the day. Even though it may seem counterintuitive many families have more availability on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Combine those evenings with food and you have a winning combination.
What to expectThe first evening will focus on trusting God, which for most of us is easier said than done. We will dive deep into the fears and challenges in our life that prevent us from letting God lead us. We will go beyond the masks that we sometimes wear and look at ourselves through the lens of God’s adopted sons and daughters. We will also focus on prayer as the foundation to authentically trusting God’s love and mercy.
How did you catch your faith? The second evening will focus on the relationships we share. We cannot do this alone. To become the saints we were created to be requires us to lean on one another and to be Christ to everyone we meet. To do that takes courage and the willingness to forgive ourselves and others. Simply put, we are called to be missionary disciples. Preparing for the Mission
