As we enter a new ministry year, we know the importance of sharing time with our leaders. They are the arms and legs of our ministries. This Gather workshop was developed to be led with your team! Ministry with children, parents, and families always begins with a voice. Having these voices begin their year in the presence of God and the community of other witnesses is a gift to all those we serve. This Gather workshop includes everything needed for intentional prayer, shared fellowship, and creative time to compile a journal to help your leaders intentionally enter the year ahead. Implementation Options: + This activity/reflection includes the journal in a full printable format (to print and staple into a booklet) or the prompts can be printed for participants to cut and decorate a blank paper journal (similar to a scrapbook). Creating your own journals will allow for more fellowship as leaders spend time together creating their own unique journals. Both options are included in this printable. +This workshop can be led as a reflection for catechists, teachers, or ministers and can be a stand alone event or part of a larger gathering of leaders, a staff meeting, etc. Includes everything needed to host a meaningful, beautiful, and faith-based Catechist workshop!*Please note, this digital PDF is for individual parish or school use only. Includes: All scripts, opening ice breaker, beautiful catechist reflection journal in 2 formats, supply list, litany for leaders, and journal blessing. Suggested time for event: 1.5-2 hours
