This year, we will be focusing on Fr. John Riccardo's 9 episode program called The Rescue Project,that will appeal to a wide range of people. This is the next step toward the goal of involving EVERYONE in the collaborative to participate in Households and form small discipleship groups. This will include Confirmation students, parents in family discipleship groups, parents who aren't in groups, single people, retired people, RCIA, junior high-high schoolers, those leading Bible studies and those who've never been to any kind of Bible study. EVERYONE!
For those who had children enrolled in Faith Formation last year, this will look somewhat the same, and somewhat different.
What's the same:
We will still be gathering monthly as a collaborative, and there will still be grade-level sessions for students.
Families will still be encouraged to gather at least one other time per month to dive deeper into the themes (some materials provided for guidance).
What's different:
ALL adults and high school students will be watching Fr. Riccardo's presentation together on Household Sunday, after breakfast; then we will break into table groups to discuss the video.
All adults will be invited to meet in the SMV Meeting Room the following Tuesday for a presentation deepening the themes of the Sunday video.
Adults without children will be encouraged to meet with those in their group at least one other time per month to continue the discussion they (hopefully) began at the Household Sunday gathering (some materials provided ;-)
We will not be using the same student packets as last year.
Faith Formation Kick-Off for EVERYONE is September 10, 12-2pm at SMV
