3. Session #3 of Generations of Faith – Adults
Renew Reflect Respond
Generations of Faith 2020-2021
Christeena Livingston-Long’s thoughts on the video series: The Story of Salvation video put me in a setting to visualize my journey of what made and keeps me a Catholic today. I liked that the video explained how we all became sinners and how we easily get distracted. But no matter what, God is in control of all things and all people.
The video did a great job breaking down the material where you could get your bible and follow with ease. I really enjoyed this session. I also enjoyed the church members Q&A sessions. Good job Elaine and Team.
Session Three topic: Who is Jesus: Just a Good Man or Lord of our Lives?
Q&A after the video: 4 Corpus Christi young adults sharing their thoughts about Jesus including their favorite names/titles for Him.
