What is the JOY Movement?

The JOY Movement begins with gratitude for all the blessings God has given each of us. We are asked to reflect on God's blessings and are then called to examine ways we can work together to strengthen the Catholic Church in Haverhill and beyond by committing outselves to the missionary work of Evangelization - the work of bringing the JOY of the Gospel of Christ to all people.

We will be encouraged to discern and use the gifts that God has given us in ways that will strengthen and sustain our Parish for the critical work of Evangelization. For this to happen, we who are affiliated with the Church must all look within our hearts and ask ourselves, "What MORE can I do to advance the Kingdom of God?"

The goal of the JOY Movement: to advance the work of Jesus Christ in our neighborhoods and our world as Grateful Disciples! There are many ways to participate. Here are just a few ideas...

Everyone has certain talents or God-given gifts that they are skilled in. For example, some people are very hospitable and relatable and know how to make people feel comfortable. Some individuals are talented businesspeople, teachers, musicians
or parents.

These talents can be more than hobbies or even careers. These gifts can be used for the glory of God. Using your talents for God can allow you to be a part of advancing the kingdom of God, helping others, and improving the world around you.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." -1Peter 4:10-11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus.

The Bible encourages Christians to be “faithful stewards” of our God-given gifts. Using your talents for God can help you find purposeful work and share God’s love. Depending on what your gifts are, you will most likely be using those talents in different ways.

There are many examples of ways talents can be used to show glory to God. If you are gifted in teaching, perhaps you can use your talents to help teach a Sunday school class at your church. If you are an artist, you might use your talent to create art that depicts events or that people can relate to. Do you find it easy to converse with others? Consider using that gift to ask someone who is lonely to lunch. Is cooking one of your talents? Preparing meals for a person who lost a family member could be one application of your talent.

Look for opportunities to serve God and use your gifts in your daily life. Using your talents for God might not look the same every day. Some days you may notice exactly how God is working through your talents; other days it may be more behind closed doors and you may not see how your gift is affecting others.

Even if you do not see how your talent is making an impact, it is important to let yourself be used by God — you may never know how you affected someone’s life.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” - Matthew 5:1-6, NIV
