Chapter 1: Why Stories are important
-
Fall 2024 Edition
We passionately believe that the most urgent task is the compelling proclamation of the gospel, one that not only shares it in an attractive – and concentrated – way, but that also offers people a way of seeing reality, and of making sense of the world, history, and life that is vastly different from the story our modern culture tells.
Until this happens, the Christian faith is often experienced as a mere set of rules and disciplines, and simply going to Church isn’t likely to lead a person to embark on the great adventure that is following Jesus and continuing His mission of the rescuing of this world.
The Rescue Project is a dynamic 8-week program where small groups meet together weekly and share an experience of the gospel surrounded by food, conversation and prayer. The blessing of the Rescue Project is that you have no preparation or homework. You just show up and get filled in amazing ways.Dates: Thursday Evenings 6:30-8:30pm Sept. 5*, 12, 19, Oct. 3, 10*, 17*
* Home of Table Leader
Retreat: Saturday October 12, 9am-1pmCHILDCARE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR SESSIONS HELD AT ST. MICHAEL'S

Getting clarity on the mission...our responseYou are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:14-16

For by the grace given to me I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than one ought to think, but to think soberly, each according to the measure of faith that God has apportioned. For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another. Romans 12:3-5Mission- Invite others to join you at Parish activities, or Sunday Mass.
