PARISH MISSION SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Get Real: Religion with Two Feet on the Ground

Christianity is about reality. It is where the reality of God and the reality of our lives meet. Our religion is not an escape from reality. It plunges us directly into the nitty gritty of everyday life armed with the secret to survival – the grace of a loving and merciful God. In Jesus, God became one of us- human just as we are. He tasted our joys and felt our frustrations. He endured our pain and even our death. His life and words direct us through the maze of our confusion, trials and challenges. His resurrection pours out the power we need not only to survive but to thrive and triumph. The Good News is that we can make it!

PROGRAM (all events are held at St. Mary Church 155 State Street Corning, NY)

 4/22 Sunday 7 PM: Don’t Worry Be Happy: Christian Joy

If you call yourself a Christian and are not happy, something is wrong. Being “holy” does not mean being somber and serious. The opposite is true. Having Jesus for a friend is the secret to Christian optimism, lightheartedness and joy.

 4/23 Monday 10 AM: What Are You Afraid Of? – Dealing with Life’s Fears

From childhood we all know the experience of fear. Some of these fears follow us into adulthood. Sometimes we become paralyzed by irrational phobias. Jesus reminds us we are not alone.

 4/23 Monday 7 PM: See It Big-Keep - It Simple: Poor in Spirit With Peace of Mind

With such an abundance of material blessings out society is shot through with deep disappointment and dissatisfaction. The gospel demands simplicity of lifestyle and promises happiness.

 4/24 Tuesday 10 AM: Cool Off! – Coping With Anger

Anger is a disease of the soul. Resentment can overpower us. It cripples us with bitterness, cynicism and negativity – in other words an “attitude.” Let go and live!

 4/24 Tuesday 7 PM: Brought Near: A Sense of Belonging to the Church

The Church is a family – sometimes a dysfunctional one but family nonetheless. Jesus has given us a new identity, despite our differences and failings. There are no strangers, we are children of God and brothers and sisters to each other. The Church is home – a safe place in the midst of a hostile world – or it should be!

 4/25 Wednesday 10 AM: Lighten Up! – A Christian Sense of Humor

Humans are the only creatures that can laugh. It is God’s gift sown deep into our nature to help us deal with life’s absurdities. We begin by laughing at ourselves.

 4/25 Wednesday 7 PM: Blessed Among Women: Mary Tender and Tough

Mary is no china doll statue, but a real woman given the most monumental task in history – to be the Mother of Jesus, the Mother of God, the Mother of our Redemption. Her example of joyful trust and endurance shows us how to hang on.
