Programme
Overall theme for 2023: PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS - We are called to be Missionary Disciples.
Jesus calls each of us to share in every part of his mission: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor; he has sent me to proclaim freedom to prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”
Each month we will develop our understanding and appreciation of how we are to respond to Jesus' call. Showing how we are all anointed, inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit to do as Jesus did, bringing people into His Kingdom.
MEETING 28 OCTOBER
Theme: "WHATEVER THE FATHER DOES, THE SON ALSO DOES" - Following God's will.
Our special guest speaker and Mass celebrant is Fr Gareth Leyshon, former Chaplain to the Sion Community, with extensive experience of Diocesan and Parish Evangelisation.
Join our zoom mini-retreat morning and, through our worship at Mass, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, prophetic reflection, praise and inspiring talk, we will discover how Jesus calls us to share in His mission. We are all anointed, inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit to do as Jesus did: bring people into God's Kingdom with the help of charisms of the Holy Spirit..

Rosary: we would normally start our meeting with the Rosary, but this is not part of the Zoom conference. You can choose to watch an online Rosary for example Rosary Joyful Mysteries from Lourdes (30 minutes); or say your own, using our ADoRE "Rosary with Scriptures" Link HERE
Mass and Adoration: livestreamed on Zoom from 10.00am with an entry hymn and short introduction. Please join from 9.50 and stay muted. More information on Adoration HERE
Reflection and prophecy: after Adoration, participants may offer words that they feel the Lord is giving them. Please press the "Reactions" button to raise a hand and wait till we ask you to unmute your microphone and invite you to speak. More information about Prophecy HERE
Praise and Worship: After a 10 minute comfort break, at 11.20am there will be a fuller welcome and introduction and a time of sung praise and worship. Song words will be shown on screen so you can join in at home, though your microphone should still be muted. (The time delay online makes it tricky to sing in unison).
Testimony: at 11.40am there will be a short testimony from someone about their own experience of renewal in the Spirit.
Talk: at 11.45 we have an inspiring talk from our guest speaker for the month. (See THIS MONTH panel for details.) This will conclude with a time of prayer for renewed outpouring of the gifts of the Holy Spirit on all participants.
Sharing: At aroud 12.30, we will share our response to the talk, or have a Question & Answer session, before further prayer and final announcements. The meeting finishes at around 1.00pm.
