Join us at Mission u as we explore the theme, Practicing Hope Together - July 18, 19, & 20, 2025
Come learn with us! During these dates: July 12, 13, & 14 at Centenary University, 400 Jefferson St., Hackettstown, NJ 07823
Join us at Mission u as we explore the theme, Practicing Hope Together. Mission u participants will study the resurrection appearances of Jesus and the example of early Christian communities to explore what it means to practice hope in God even when things seem to be falling apart.
Mission u 2025 offers three exciting curricula on this theme:
Adult— Practicing Hope by Tabatha Holley
Practicing Hope is a biblical curriculum that explores hope particularly when hope seems hard to find, asking questions such as: How does Christ teach us to embody hope when our backs are against the wall? Participants will find ways to allow all of our communities to cultivate hope that is honest about our current conditions (refugia), restorative when everything feels urgent (rest), and possible even when we transgress (repair).
Youth— Communities of the Spirit: Living into Hope as Resurrection People by Regina Heater
Communities of the Spirit is a youth curriculum examining the hope we find in early post-resurrection Christian communities and how they kept hope alive in the most difficult times. Youth will be asked to consider what they believe are important components of a Community of the Spirit, hoping they will identify what they need in a community to help them continue to
become the people God calls them to be.
Children — Hope as a Resurrection People by Joni Cisowski
Hope as a Resurrection People intends to help children build trust in Jesus to bring comfort and support as they find courageous hope in the face of uncertainty. Through each session, children will develop their understanding of hope by reflecting on important people, communities, places, activities, personal goals, and desires for the future. Then, they will look for ways to build
communal hope to be the change our world needs today.
