Repeated from Last Communiqué:
On March 1, Shrove Tuesday at 2 pm, Divine Renovation is hosting its biggest live event ever with Bishop Robert Barron, Nicky Gumbel, and Fr. James Mallon: What Is God Saying to The Church? March 2022 marks two years since the pandemic hit much of the world. What is God saying to the Church throughout the last two years? What have we learned? What should be our focus moving forward? As we slowly emerge into a post-pandemic world, mission-minded parish leaders know we have an incredible opportunity to recommit our energies to finding bold and new ways to evangelize. But there are important questions many are wrestling with: What is the most urgent call for the Church? What have the past two years revealed about the Church and how she is fulfilling her mission? What are we being called to repent of, to turn from, and to turn towards? Together with Alpha, Divine Renovation is gathering today’s leaders in mission and evangelization in this free online event so you can gain valuable insights for your role as a parish leader. Your parish can also host a watch party at any time with the recorded event. DR is providing a FREE support pack including a how-to guide, a suggested program, and promotion resources you can use for your bulletin, newsletter, website, social media, etc. Find out more here: https://www.divinerenovation.org/what-is-god-saying-event.
