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. http://www.churchleaders.com/worship/worship-articles/154143-how-to-use-social-media-effectively-in-the- church.html Social Media M.A.

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. http://oca.org/reflections/fr.-lawrence-farley/modernizing-the-church http://www.theonion.com/graphic/pope-francis-plans-for-modernizing-the-catholic-ch-33888 Scripture: Romans 10:17: Consequently faith comes from hearing the- message, and the message is heard through the world of Christ.

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.
