With our Catechetical and Social Justice nights the layout of the night is usually as follows:

Pre - Gather - time to hang and meet others

Gather - Fun games to start the night

Proclaim - Main teaching/message for the night

Break - Divide into small group and break open the message of the night

Send - A wrap up to the night, a chance to reflect on the night's message and relate it to our lives.
