Life Night

Permanent Marker: Four Marks of the Church

Keywords: | | | |

Goal for the Life Night:

The goal for this night is to understand how the four marks give the Church her identity and mission. This night will also help the teens understand their identity as Catholic Christians today.

Life Night at a Glance:

The four marks of the Church form the pillars on which our faith has been built. This Life Night will give your teens the opportunity to explore true nature of the Catholic Church as well as their own identity as a Catholic Christian. Each part of the Life Night will explore a different mark of the Church. During the Gather, the teens will learn that the Church is ONE through a Lego building competition. During the Proclaim, the teens will hear about how the Church is HOLY through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. During the Break, the teens will see that the Church is CATHOLIC through learning about different Catholic traditions around the world and how they are part of this global family. During the Send, the teens will encounter the APOSTOLIC nature of the Church as they are prayed over and sent out as apostles.
