1. Mass Without Ministers
   Have you wondered what Mass would be like without ministers?  What does it take to get the full spiritual meaning of Mass?  We will discuss what's important for those called to serve: what is the degree of commitment when we say, "Yes, Yes, Lord!"
   
2. Spirituality and Prayer
   How, when and why do we pray?  What is spirituality and how do we form relationship with God? Come and answer these questions and discuss other aspects to help strengthen your personal prayer life.
   
3. Evangelization: Living the Liturgy
   The goal of Vatican II was to equip the Church to effectively re-evangelize the world through a compelling proclamation of Jesus Christ in a language that the world could understand. Evangelization is what disciples do between Baptism and death. What does this mean for me? And how do I do it?
   
4. Building Ministry Relationships
   The reign of God is present and lay ministers are the seeds of its future growth.  By sharing our knowledge and faith experiences in what we do within our ministries, we create new friendships; develop a deeper sense of belonging and learn from each other, uniting us as one in Christ.  Come and be part of the Community Unity Ministry Tree!
   
5. Music at Mass-A Retrospective:
