My new parish event that I am really excited to promote is going to be HUGE. I am actually hoping to get THOUSANDS of people to participate in this FREE event. First of all this is going to be a super fun event, that will be extremely convenient for pretty everyone, and I think will be pretty successful!
The name of this event is:
"GO HOME AND LOVE YOUR FAMILY!"
I can't wait to launch this event. I am thinking bulletin posts, social media promotions, maybe even some Lector announcements. WE ARE GOING TO PROMOTE THE HECK OUT OF THIS EVENT!
This event is grounded in Scripture: Mark 6:19 actually says, "But he would not permit him but told him instead, Go Home to your Family."
Basically I am thinking our parish is getting short of a country club. We have events pretty much every night and weekends. Bible studies, fellowship groups, Catholic Women groups, Knight of Columbus, youth group, etc. etc. I think I see some of the same people at church EVERYDAY.
I gotta be honest everyone, Church is not meant to be everyone's mission field. We definitely need to be spiritually fed, and I LOVE studying scripture with others. But at some point we have to Go home and love our families! Then we need to go OUT into the world and share the Love of God with everyone out there.
We haven't settled on a specific date yet, but I will be sure to let you all know how it goes!
