Encountering Christ Today / El Encuentro Con Cristo Hoy

Thank you to all who attended any of our “Launching Arise” Sessions in March and “Reaching Out” in April and May.  It was wonderful to see so many people from around the diocese come together for this exciting time!

Now, it is time to prepare for the next step in this process.  Plan for your Parish Team and Small Community Leaders to attend SMALL COMMUNITY LEADER (SCL) FORMATION WORKSHOP #1.  This workshop prepares small community leaders to lead Season One, Encountering Christ Today. It provides a basic theological grounding in the core belief that in Jesus Christ, God has fully revealed himself to humanity. It also highlights the practical skills needed to facilitate and maximize small communities as vehicles for prayer and faith sharing with a movement toward action.
