******I understand Tuesday nights can be tough to get out and do something: If your child attends this awesome experience- it is noted in my class records and credit will be given. This is a practical educational experience and credit is due for the time and the prayer that the student is putting forth. If you cannot attend, there is no negative consequences.******
If you feel like this is an event that you would like to help out with- driving students or in the larger ministry sense- please contact me!
ABOUT LIFT!!!
Pope John Paul II has called the Church to “cultivate a lively awareness of Christ's real presence, both in the celebration of Mass and in the worship of the Eucharist outside Mass.” LIFT has been born out of a desire to live out that call and marry it with contemporary trends in modern worship.
LIFT is a monthly worship gathering on a Tuesday night in the metropolitan Boston area. LIFT uses modern elements such as professional lighting and sound, video screens displaying worship imagery and song lyrics, creative environments and the latest in contemporary praise and worship music performed by a live band to enhance the worship experience. The basic format of a LIFT night starts with upbeat praise and worship music followed by an inspirational talk given by a dynamic speaker speaking on that night’s theme. The night culminates with a time of Eucharistic Adoration enhanced by more praise and worship music.
Worship is all about heaven. When we come to worship, we join with the angels and the saints around the heavenly throne in praise to our God. Worship is what we were created to do. When we worship we are simply partaking in what we will be doing for eternity in heaven. The things that make up LIFT – from the music to the environment to the speakers, etc – are all designed to help the worshipper enter into the presence of God and experience a taste of heaven.
"LIFT Your eyes and look to the heavens..."
Isaiah 40:26
