FAITH ALIVE, IT'S FOR YOU!

Tailored for your congregation, Faith Alive is a gentle program that provides a special time for each of us to re-examine the promises that we made, or were made for us, at our Baptism, and again when we were confirmed. In the service of Holy Baptism there are two very important questions about our relationship with our Lord:

“ Do you turn to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Savior?”
“ Do you promise to follow and obey Him as your Lord?”

The Faith Alive Weekend is primarily a time to rethink what these promises mean to each of us, and time will be taken during Sunday's services, for those who desire, to make a new commitment or a recommitment to the Lord.

Faith Alive is not a teaching ministry. There will be no lectures. Members of a number of churches throughout the state, and perhaps beyond, will come to your church to lead the Weekend. Their role is to be facilitators. They do not come to teach or preach. They may be asked to share what it has meant to them to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their lives, but mostly they will be used to lead small groups.

The visiting team members will honor your church's style of piety. They are people from all walks of life who have made a conscious commitment to follow Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. They come at their own expense to share how their lives have been changed.

The role of parishioners during the Weekend is:

• To come with open hearts and minds
• To participate as much as they can in all activities
• To be open to hear what the Lord has for them
• To think about their relationship with God
• To enjoy and have fun!
