Click here to view his website and some sample videos. Friday KeynoteGo? Now? I Only Have Five Loaves and Two Fish! We are all disciples of Christ. But like those first disciples we share the same doubts and uncertainty in our ministries. How can we feed the rapidly growing Church in Northern California with our limited resources? However when we look in our backpack of gifts we already have five loaves and two fish. That’s enough for Jesus to do a miracle today! Come and re-discover the treasures we have in Jesus, our Master Teacher. Bring your voices and your ‘shouting shoes’. We will glorify the Lord in our lives!
WORKSHOPS3-03 The Missal is Finished – Now Our Work Begins! Remember Kevin Costner’s famous line from the movie Field of Dreams…“If we build it, they will come”? We now wonder “If we print it, will they come?” How can we implement the new Roman Missal in a way that draws our families into “full, conscious and active participation” in school and parish liturgies? Join a lively discussion on the challenges and opportunities that faced by worshipping communities. Bring your experiences of glorifying God in the liturgy.
4-05 I Don’t get Anything out of the Mass – It’s Boring! Does this sound familiar? How do we actively engage young people in our school or Sunday Eucharist? Part I will explore how the ancient practice of Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) can lead our teens to a deeper participation in God’s word. Part 2 will apply the Lectio Divina method to engage more youth in the planning of feast day and Sunday liturgies. A special introduction to the Catholic Faith & Family Bible will be included. |
Grayson Warren Brown is an internationally known liturgical composer, author and recording artist. He began his liturgical ministry in the late 1960s in a small inner-city parish in New York City where he learned early how significant an authentic, spirit-filled experience of worship can be to people in need of hope. His many years of experience working in a multicultural parish have given him a unique insight into the power that good liturgy can instill in people of all backgrounds. Grayson is now dividing his time between writing, composing and traveling the country giving workshops, speaking at conventions and conducting parish missions. His down-to-earth approach to liturgy and Scripture, coupled with his dynamic speaking style, has made him one of the most sought-after presenters in the United States today.
