Dear Friends,
On Saturday, May 16 at Mercer School the Diocese of Long Island's 3rd annual Faith Formation Convocation will take place. Our theme this year is:
Walk [Still] in Love, as Christ Loved Us.
You can get more information and register by clicking: FFCIII
But what do we mean by the phrase "faith formation"? Sometimes we can take for granted that everybody knows what we mean by church-language, even when it changes over time.
So . . .
- do you teach Sunday School?
- are you involved in youth ministry, or would you like there to be a youth or young adult ministry in your church?
- do you participate in an adult educational forum in your parish?
- do you listen to a sermon on Sundays (or do you write one)?
- do you want to make sure your parish has a living word to say to your neighborhood?
- do you want to assure that every generation in your parish community hears a caring word from the church?
If you answer "Yes!" to any of these, you are involved in faith formation. Already. And the day coming up on May 16th is meant to support and resource and inform and assist you in this ministry.
If you have more questions about faith formation, be in touch!
Blessings,
John+

First time I am reading an article of "Faith Formation". For my history subject I had an assignment about theology. I requested to one custom essay writing service and they did that for me. In that they have used the same word but I was unaware about it.
