Adult & All Age
Encourage adults to put their faith into action.
Prepare a simple one-sentence response to give when people ask you, ‘What did you do at the weekend?’ – e.g. ‘celebrated the birth of the Church’, ‘received peace’, ‘prayed’, or simply, ‘I was in church’. Think each day what it means to be a witness for Jesus.
