Prophetic Church: Reaching Others for Christ
2020-09-16 18:30 - 20:30 | Ave Maria Hall, 6853 S. Prince St., Littleton, Colorado, 80120
Scott Elmer, the Executive Director of Evangelization and Family Life Ministries of the Archdiocese of Denver, will be running his doctoral project at St. Mary and he is in need of volunteer participants who are fully initiated Catholics looking to grow in their desire and ability to reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The project is titled “Prophetic Church,” because in baptism, all of the faithful are anointed as priests, prophets and kings in Jesus Christ. The prophetic anointing specifically empowers us to proclaim the Kingdom of Jesus and be His witnesses in the world.
The project will meet once a week for six weeks on Wednesday evenings from September 16 to October 21. The meetings will take place in Ave Maria Hall from 6:30–8:30 pm. Participation is FREE.
If you are interested and would like to register or have any questions, please email Scott at scottelmer86@gmail.com.
