Temple Tuesday as a Pre-Membership Class on Sacraments

​Temple Tuesday: Sacrament Introduction (January 19, 2021)
 
Gathering Activity
 Invite the group to name the eight sacraments celebrated in Community of Christ.
  • Baby Blessing (infants and children under the age of eight)

Share the following introduction from Community of Christ website (which can be found at this link: here).
     We encounter God through the sacraments of the church, which touch lives at important times and places. Sacraments   
     bring God’s grace, the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the example of the life of Jesus Christ together with one’s
     personal commitment of faith. Through the sacraments, we discover the presence of God everywhere and realize that all
     life is sacred.
 
     These encounters point to God’s loving desire to bring all people to peace, wholeness, and right relationships with one
     another and the Divine, which is the meaning of salvation. The sacraments refresh, renew, and challenge us to continue
     on Christ’s mission, our mission, for the sake of all creation.
 
Watch the Temple Tuesday video together. 
Discussion Questions
  1. Which sacrament is most familiar or most meaningful to you?
  2. Which sacrament are you least familiar with or would like to know more about?
 
Closing
Read Doctrine and Covenants 163: 2b:
     Generously share the invitation, ministries, and sacraments through which people can encounter the Living Christ who 
     heals and reconciles through redemptive relationships in sacred community. The restoring of persons to healthy or   
     righteous relationships with God, others, themselves, and the earth is at the heart of the purpose of your journey as a
​     people of faith.
 
Prayer of Gratitude
