MY CHURCH PROCLAIMS THE GOOD NEWS
Mini-Reflection # 1

After learning how the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, anoints all of us to follow the footsteps of the disciples and be apostles in our own contexts, let us reflect on how the Holy Spirit works through us in thr world today:

• How does the Church continue the ministry of Christ today? List down and describe five things that your Church does in pursuit of Christ’s mission. (You may want to add some pictures.)
• Explain how these things are important in proclaiming the Good News of Christ today. How is the Holy Spirit active through these actions of the Church?
• How do these things help the Church become an effective sacrament of Christ to the world?

Assignment: Apostle after Pentecost

After seeing how the Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, anoints all of us to follow the footsteps of the disciples and be apostles in our own contexts, let look at an example from the twelve apostles of Jesus as our own example of being a disciple and apostle of Jesus:

• Research on the life of an apostle after the Pentecost event
• NOTE: Choose one apostle only. Your challenge is to research about "lesser known apostles" and his mission after the Pentecost.
• You may also include pictures of the apostles in your online assignment.
  
• REMINDER: Cite your sources accordingly. Plagiarism is not just a sin... IT'S A CRIME!
  
• Guide questions:
  
  • Where did the apostle go after Pentecost?
  • How would you describe the apostle before and after Pentecost?
  • What changes did you see? What do you think contributed to the change in the personality of this apostle?

Your answers should be placed on half bond paper, proper paper format (Times New Roman, size 12, single spaced, name at the back).

Submission will be on our next meeting (Tuesday, 10 November 2009)
