This podcast is also meant for anyone in church-land who desires to see growth in their church or personal life.
For example: I really encourage you to ask the Lord in prayer: “Lord, how can I grow in the 4 Core Values of my parish: how can I be an engaged disciple; how can I show evangelical hospitality; how can I exercise some leadership or help others to be leaders (multiplying leaders); how can I be more Rooted in Tradition (listen to Fr Mike’s podcase CCC?)
So – what have I seen this week?
1) The Senior’s Ministry has returned! I talk a lot about our Youth (and I will again) but I now want to highlight a “reboot” of our Senior’s Ministry. This went into a kind of “hibernation” with the ugly reality of COVID. It has taken a while because there is so much happening here @ the parish but now the Senior’s Ministry is rebooted and rising! I want to give a shout-out to Theresa and the people she is working with.
2) Saturday night the Junior Youth Ministry Core Team gathered for its monthly ‘get-together’, dinner and team building. This is so important for these young people (and their leaders too!). It helps the leaders grow together as a team of brothers and sisters in the Lord (by their sharing), it helps them grow as disciples and leaders.
Keep praying for the supernatural growth of our CCYM
3) Parishioners are responding to the AMS very well. People gather after the 9 and 11 Masses to chat with family and friends. The kids are playing – running around and just having fun.
The organizers are living out being engaged disciples and showing for evangelical hospitality.
If you have not popped into an AMS then I encourage you to give it a try – you’ll benefit and so will others.
