Lesson 6
EPIC Action
Project: Responding to Community Needs
|
Overview
Our
Catholic faith compels us to respond
to the needs of our neighbor. In his
Epistle, St. James reminds us that
our faith calls us to action. This
lesson represents the second part of
the EPIC (Ending Poverty in
Community) project. Continuing the
work begun in Lesson 5, participants
develop a social action plan as they
consider how their faith calls them
to respond with others to meet the
community need they identified. |
 |
Part I: Opening
Prayer/Warm-up
In this warm-up, participants read James 2:14-24
(Faith and Works) and reflect on how their faith
calls them to take action with the poor to meet
the needs in their community.
Part II: Activity —
Responding to Community Needs
In this activity,
participants will brainstorm ways to address the
needs they identified in the previous lesson.
They will then develop a plan to put their
solutions into action.
Part III: Reflection
After completing this project, participants will
reflect on their own faith journey and examine
what action or covenant they will be willing to
make in order to help meet the needs of others.
