14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C (2022)

The readings for Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C reminds that God comforts us, even in difficult times. In the first reading (Isaiah 66:10-14C) we hear that God provides for us in abundance. The psalm (Psalm 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20) is a song of praise. In the second reading (Galatians 6:14-18) Paul encourages us to rejoice in the cross, for we are united with Christ. In the gospel (Luke 10:1-12, 17-20) Jesus tells us that discipleship will involve work and even rejection, but he also tells us to rejoice in our labor.

How do I experience God’s comfort? Do I share that comfort with others? Here are some ideas:

Water Transfer Team Building Game

Water Transfer is a wet silly game for VBS or youth ministry. It also builds team spirit because group members need to work together to determine the best strategy to move their water.  It would work well for middle school Vacation Bible School, as a camp game, or as a youth group icebreaker.

May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ Be With Your Spirit

Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
