With our new and developing society, people all over the world
have become used to technology and have grown out of the old ways.
If the Churchs mission is to reach out to the young adults, and
find ways where the young adults can be interested and engaged. We
can start drawing the new generations in by asking Churches to get
social media. Some churches around the world use a personal
account, which is not bad its just hard for other people to see the
profile or that one account. If they made a facebook page, others
can comment and post pictures of their own, ask questions, make
comments etc...The church needs to make a facebook page so that
everyone can engage on that page and like the page and what they
post. If Facebook doesnt work out these days, another main social
media is Twitter. If the church cant reach out through the
community through Facebook they can use Twitter and simply do the
same thing. They can post images, post upcoming event dates, make a
blog, etc Scripture: Hebrews 10:25:Let us not give up meeting
together, as some as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day
approaching.

Most of the society today, surrounds their lives around social
media, and most of their attention goes towards the online world.
Majority of people today check social media weekly, daily, or
hourly. In order to make the Catholic church more relevant in
todays times, they need to rule more on natural law, than focusing
more on strict Catholic laws. As for Sacred Tradition what was
working has stayed the same, and we have kept spiritual tradition
that was working well, but strict traditions have been approved
upon.

a professional athlete, praying and giving thanks to the lord is
very important. A Role model Many people watch professional sports
and idol players. When they see that athlete praying, they would
want to do it too. Scripture: Isaiah 40:31: But they who wait for
the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings
like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and
not faint.

The Four Marks of the Church are inseparable and linked to each
other. {One/Holy/Catholic/Apostolic} The new way of the Church
wants to use Our Lords Four Marks characteristics to reflect the
Churchs features, and mission. {One}-In a flyer the new way of the
Church will invite everyone of all ethnic groups, and religions to
a farmers market to all be one holy community. {Holy}-Have a
commercial explaining that the new way of the Church is a place of
holiness, and spirituality, and a place to really meditate and come
together, as the Church once was for Jesus at the time he was on
Earth. {Catholic}- Put a post on Twitter showing that the new way
of the Church is, universally wanting to connect with all people
around the world, and not only the areas that are around that
specific church. {Apostolic}- we would send out a post on Instagram
announcing that no matter what faith, or how much you have sinned,
the new way of the Church wants to act the way how Jesus acted when
he was on Earth, which is being accepting to all people, and
welcoming everyone into his house of worship. Scripture: John 4:19
19 We love because he first loved us.

Sunday, after listening to the plight of unemployed miners in
Sardinia, Pope Francis set aside his prepared remarks and called on
the world to stop worshipping the "god of money." He implored us
all to adopt an economy that places men and women at the center,
and criticized our culture in which "we throw away grandparents and
we throw away young people."called on the world

could-save-the-catholic-church-from-itself Pope Francis wants
what's best for the world so he calls upon all people to make the
world a better place. Not just older but younger too. He is willing
to accept that times are changing and that there are more ways to
market the church. (Ex. Through the internet, through music, etc.)
Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what
is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

-It is about your message, your testimony, your influence, and
your role in reflecting Gods character. -Bible Quote -Proverbs 3:27
-Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in
your power to do it. -Being active in your church and helping with
the funds to keep it going. -Whether it be through donations of
money or time. -http://www.umcom.org/learn/market-your-church What
does Church Marketing mean to you? RM

Hebrews 10:24-25 -And let us consider how to stir up one
another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as
is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more
as you see the Day drawing near. -This quote tells us that the
church is a family that should stay together and do their duty for
each other. When people spread the word and help support their
family by letting it grow, they become better people and become
more active in the Catholic faith. 1 John 4:7 -Beloved, let us love
one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born
of God and knows God. -This quote lets us know that God loves all
who know how to love. In the church, donating spare time or money
shows how much you love your church and the community. God wants
people to try and help the church grow and prosper through actions
of love towards Him.
