Life Nights
Our Life Nights are comprised of: Educational, social, service and issue nights.
Educational Nights:
The educational nights for our 2007-08 year follow the theme
of “Person of Christ: Who is Jesus?” The purpose of these nights is to introduce
teens to the Mystery of Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God- the second person
of the Blessed Trinity. During this year’s educational nights the teens will learn
about who Jesus is, and learn who he calls them to be.
Oct. “What if?” Goal: This night will be the introduction for the semester. The
goal of this night is to have the teens understand that everything we believe hinges
on the reality of Jesus as the Christ. He is the full and perfect revelation of
God. With out Christ nothing we profess and believes makes sense.
Nov. “A River Runs Through It” Goal: This night is about our response to God’s free
gift of Himself. Just as Jesus fully gave Himself to us, we are called to give completely
of ourselves to God using the faith given to us in Baptism. This night will provide
teens with the definition of faith and the role the Church plays in our faith.
Dec. “TRI” Goal: Explain the mystery of the Trinity. Explain why God Choose to reveal
Himself in terms of relationship.
Jan. “Mirror Image” Goal: This night is about human dignity. This night will give
the teens a chance to see themselves through the loving eyes of the Father. It will
remind the teens who and what they are created for.
Feb. “Know Your Momma” Goal: This night is about Mary and it should help the teens
understand the role of Mary in the Church as well as how to develop a relationship
with her.
March “Nailed” Goal: Teens will learn that they will always experience both blessing
and suffering in their lives, but the Lord desires for them to unite both to the
cross.
April “Prove It!” Goal: This is a basic apologetics night. The night will give the
teens a safe environment to ask questions and express doubts while giving them some
of the main arguments to prove the existence of God.
