5. Generations of Faith – Encounter Jesus
Jesus Christ God’s Son Savior
You’re invited to a Jewish wedding in the city of Cana. Ever wonder what a wedding celebration at the time of Jesus might look like? Let’s find out together by viewing an excerpt from The Chosen, a popular video series that portrays the life of Jesus and is biblically based, artistically enhanced. Here are two options to Encounter Jesus at the wedding feast:
In-person on Sunday, October 10 after the 11 am Mass (12:25-1:40 pm) in church with a snack provided. Sign up using the link below or at the back of church after Masses this weekend.
At home through a link on the Corpus Christi website that goes “live” on October 10th.
Option 1 includes viewing the video plus in-person discussion and reflection: what characteristics of Jesus are evident in this story? How is the relationship between Jesus and his mother portrayed?
Option 2 includes the video plus a panel discussion of parishioners (much like last year) for your personal reflection at home.
The children and teens also have two options for their Generations of Faith Encounter with Jesus: 1. In-person on Sunday October 10th in rooms 3 & 4 with teens in the Activity Center from 12:25 to 1:40 pm with a snack provided. Sign up using the link below or at the back of church.
