LPi Announces WeGather Volunteer Scheduler
Keeping track of various volunteer lists, struggling to balance multiple spreadsheets, and not knowing volunteer preferences has made engagement and fundraising challenging for non-profit organizations. With WeGather’s Volunteer Scheduler, the new feature provides an improved and flexible volunteer user experience. Volunteers can select their preferred volunteer times and events allowing organizations visibility into volunteer capacity for planning and a smooth execution of all events.
Carry the Light of Faith
So many people today are looking for the light and warmth of hope and love that can only come from Jesus. On this Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the example of Mary “carrying a light” — the Christ Child — is an invitation for each of us to carry into a darkened world the light of faith burning in our hearts and minds.
Drop Your Nets and Be Free
When Jesus came along and asked some fishermen to drop their nets and follow him, they did just that. Wow! In some ways, they experienced true freedom. That is what Jesus offers all of us. Yet, true freedom looks quite different than my dream scenario.
Should Your Parish Use Facebook Live?
When Facebook Live launched in 2016, it offered users a way to more immediately connect with their audiences. As years progress, it’s only natural that churches have now started using this feature to connect with members and nonmembers alike.
Centered on the Light of Christ
There is a darkening of intellect and will in today’s world in an effort to twist the truth of freedom and to be self-serving. How are we to respond to the enveloping darkness around us? We need to follow the light of Christ. Our primary identity must lie in belonging to him, and everything else must become secondary.
Play That One Again
We never have any idea what God will call us to do and where to go. Sometimes the request can ask us for quite a lot. Hopefully, we respond like a mature disciple. If not, maybe we should reflect more the next time this song is played.
Parish Events for the Whole Family
Families are the heart of the Church, but with a range of ages, it can be a challenge to find focused events for everyone in the family. Whether you opt for an event focusing on fun or service, here are a few ideas for family-centered events that everyone can enjoy.
Lessons from Baptizing a Frog
We cannot get baptized again in the Jordan or Sea of Galilee because of romantic notions, or come into the Catholic Church by a second baptism so we can start all over. Our baptism, whether we can remember it or not, is a one-time deal.
Increasing the Reign of Christ
Every major revival of the 20th century involved God attempting to restore His control over the Church in an experiential way, not just in a theological or doctrinal understanding. If the Church is to be the leaven for all people and if we are to see the kingdom of God ever expanding, we can’t trust in ourselves but in the fire and might of the Holy Spirit.
Declutter Your Digital Workspace
It’s easy for your inbox to be overloaded with emails, meeting requests, and documents to review. Not only can it clutter up your digital workspace, but important items on your to-do list can fall through the cracks. Thankfully, there are many tools available that allow for easier communication.
Give Without Counting the Cost
Though sinless, Jesus submitted himself to the baptism of John the Baptist so that we could be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Through our baptismal vows, we commit to share Jesus’ concern for the lost and broken. If Jesus was willing to live a life of service for the poor, we must do the same or we can’t call ourselves his followers.
Penances and Prayers
If we are to truly echo the kingdom of God in our lives and actions, what we ultimately offer to him is no less than our entire selves. This baby will give his entire self for us, and his work must continue through our hands and feet.
