Next Week
We will be diving into our first week of SAY by talking about the Kerygma - the basic message of Salvation. If you attended the Parent Meeting last week, Beth gave us a quick reflection on the Kerygma. The general idea is:
God created us to share in His own blessed life, but through the temptation and pride of the Fall, we chose to betray God's love. However, God chose to offer us a way back to Him - a Savior - so He spent hundreds of years preparing us for the coming of this Savior. This Savior who brings us back to God is Jesus, who came into the world as a human (just like us) and died for our sins. On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead and invited us back into His own blessed life with God the Father. By grace of our Baptism, we are able to enter into this life with Jesus and walk alongside Him as we make our way towards heaven.
