Title:  Jesus’s Atoning Death and the Meaning of the Mass

What does Jesus actually accomplish on the Cross?  How does His death have the power to save me from my sins?  We will address these and other questions, as well as show how a deeper understanding of the Atonement can transform our understanding of the Mass and better dispose us to receive the graces that Jesus offers us there.

Title:  What is the Eucharist and Why Should I Care?

Many of us recognize that the Lord’s Day and the Eucharist are important – or, at least, they are supposed to be. But in all honesty, it can be hard to know how to fit them into our busy lives. This presentation takes a Biblical look at the Eucharist and the Sabbath, and offers practical ideas for busy people to honor the Lord’s Day with greater intention. In addition, current research will be shared that shows the surprising connections between worship and overall happiness and well-being. Come learn about the Eucharist and why it matters in our daily lives. (for teens and adults).

Speaker: Sheryl Moran
Theme: You are His Masterpiece: How Sacred Art Helps to Bring us to the Transforming Love of God

“Approximately 15 years ago, I had the privilege and blessing of sculpting our crucifix. And therefore, as part of our series on the Mass, I have been asked to talk about our crucifix and the role sacred art plays in worship. At this lecture, I will share some of my insights and experiences with sacred art. However, my main hope for our time together is that those coming will see in a deeper way that they are God’s masterpiece, created for his good purpose and glory. I hope you will come!” - Sheryl Moran
