Lent 2025 – The Chosen Viewing and Discussion Group

After several discussions and references to The Chosen during Men’s Ministry sessions, we were asked to start a ‘Chosen Watch Group’.  This year we are going to try this for Lent.  The Midd-South Catholic Men’s Ministry group is sponsoring it, however it’s not just for the MM group – all are welcome – men, women, come for 1 session, come for all, etc.

When: 3/6/2025 to 4/10/2025

Where: Depending on size, we will meet Thursday nights at the Sacred Heart Campus from 6:30-7:45PM.  We will meet in the atrium of the church and find a room for our meeting.

Sessions:

  1. Watch the week’s episode of The Chosen before the meeting that week.
  2. We will prepare 4 questions (for example):
    • What was most meaningful to you? Why?
    • How does it tie to your experience of Lent in 2025?
    • What about how the episode was presented resonated with you?
    • What would you like to share with the group?
  3. Meeting
    • Opening Prayer and God Moments – 10 minutes
    • Set Up the episode, recap – 5 minutes
    • Share 4 questions – 5 minutes
    • Roundtable 30 minutes– may break out in to smaller groups depending on participation
    • Summarize as a large group – 10 minutes
  4. Preview the next episode – 5 minutes
  5. Adjourn – 5 minutes
