Popular Catholic Faith-Formation Consultant to Offer Free Webinar on How to Create Scripture-Based Faith-Formation Activities for Advent
Advent activities are few and far between once you get beyond Advent wreaths, Advent calendars, and Jesse Trees. In an upcoming Webinar, best-selling author Joe Paprocki will provide catechists, religion teachers, and RCIA leaders with suggestions for new, engaging Advent activities that tie into the Sunday Scripture readings of Cycle C.
Chicago, IL (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 13, 2009 -- Joe Paprocki, national consultant for faith formation at Loyola Press and author of several books, wants faith-formation leaders in Catholic parishes, as well as religion teachers in Catholic schools, to use the weekly Sunday Scripture readings as a springboard from which to create new and exciting Advent activities for children and adults.
With this in mind, Paprocki will lead an Advent Webinar offering DREs, catechists, religion teachers, and RCIA leaders unique Advent activities drawn from the Sunday Scripture readings of Cycle C (the Gospel of Luke). The free Webinar, which takes place November 18, 2009, from 7:15—8:15 p.m. CST, will help attendees think beyond the usual activities of creating Advent wreaths and the like and focus instead on some brand-new options that take to heart the Cycle C Scripture readings for Advent.
“Advent wreaths, calendars, and Jesse Trees are all part of the Advent experience, but I want adults and children alike to go deeper than that and to look to the Sunday Scripture readings to guide them in their observance of Advent,” says Paprocki. He also sees this Webinar as a chance to remind faith-formation leaders that Advent is a special season unto itself, not just a stepping-stone on the way to Christmas. Paprocki hopes that with this mindset, leaders will find it easier to convey the joy of Advent through the new activities they will take away from this Webinar.
Paprocki has much to draw on as he prepares for this Webinar: he has over 30 years of experience in ministry and currently serves as an eighth-grade catechist. He is also the author of the bestseller The Catechist’s Toolbox, as well as A Well-Built Faith and The Bible Blueprint. Joe blogs about his catechetical experiences at http://www.CatechistsJourney.com.
