Small Christian Communities: A Way of Being
Church in the 1st through 21st Century
God of love and mercy, you call us to be your people,
you gift us with your abundant grace. Make us a holy people,
radiating the fullness of your love. Form us into a community,
a people who care, expressing your compassion. Remind us day
after day of our baptismal call to serve, with joy and courage.
Teach us how to grow in wisdom and grace and joy in your presence.
Through Jesus and in your Spirit, we make this prayer. Amen
Small Christian Communities are a way of being
church -- a communal experience that brings the Gospel to everyday
life. As a leaven of the broader church, small Christian communities
provide unique opportunities for acceptance, challenge and support.
The shared experience of prayer, scripture and study, nurtures
the community in faith. Through the movement of the Spirit, a
commitment to out-reach and the needs of the poor deepens as
the community grows. Because of the vitality they generate, small
Christian communities are integral to the life of the Church.
