PARISH LENTEN MESSAGE SERIES
ONE CHURCH — ONE MESSAGE
Summary: Catholic Atheist is about the many ways we profess to believe God, but then by our thoughts or actions show that we don’t really trust him or act as if he doesn’t exists. Throughout the series we will look at five specific ways in which we profess God, but then act and think as if he doesn’t exist. This message series will be an awakening for all of us to PRACTICE what we WORSHIP and BELIEVE what we PRACTICE and WORSHIP.
Week One: We believe in God, but… we are not sure he loves us. (Week One Reflection)
Week Two: We believe in God, but… not in prayer. (Week Two Reflection)
Week Three: We believe in God, but… still worry all the time. (Week Three Reflection)
Week Four: We believe in God, but…don’t know Him. (Week Four Reflection)
Week Five: We believe in God, but…don’t believe we can change. (Week Five Reflection)
