Blessed vs Cabin Time

Welcome to the official app for BLESSED, the incredibly dynamic First Communion and First Reconciliation program developed by Dynamic Catholic to meet families where they are and lead them to where God is calling them to be! With the BLESSED app, you can experience all of the BLESSED content anytime and anywhere on your mobile device. There’s never been anything like BLESSED in the Catholic world for families. This app includes: - 84 World-Class Animated Short Films created by an Emmy Award-Winning Studio - The complete set of BLESSED Workbooks (including both the First Reconciliation and First Communion Workbooks), containing captivating artwork, discussion questions, and activities for all 12 sessions (COMING SOON) - Prayers and extra content to bring BLESSED to life Dynamic Catholic developed BLESSED to engage the family sense of wonder and take them on an unforgettable adventure into the story of Jesus and the life-giving truths of his Church. You’ve never seen a sacramental prep program like this. BLESSED isn’t just different, it’s groundbreaking. Through rich visuals and relatable content, both of these captivating workbooks will help families develop a personal relationship with God. Plus, parents and volunteer catechists will love the discussion questions, suggested activities, and more in the leader guide! After years of research, we discovered that cognitive retention in families between the ages of six and nine is directly linked to emotional connection—and nothing connects with families at this age quite like animation. That’s why BLESSED is dynamic in every way. Each of the 84 episodes will engage the senses to enhance their learning and help them apply simple, practical lessons to their own lives. We know how difficult it is to raise the next generation of Catholics. That’s why we’ve also created catechist-friendly resources designed to maximize the effectiveness of BLESSED, so you are excited to learn each week, and you are happy to teach these Catholic Moments year after year! Plus, each workbook is masterfully illustrated by an internationally acclaimed book artist. The combination of incredible content and more than 250 hand-painted works of art will capture the imagination and open their eyes to God’s incredible dream for their lives. Together, we are re-energizing the Catholic Church. Because we believe in the importance of this mission, we made the entire BLESSED program available online for free! We also created an email program that allows parents to experience BLESSED alongside their families. These workbooks do more than prepare families for First Communion and Reconciliation. They instill in them a life-long love for their faith. We are honored to serve you and look forward to dynamic collaboration with you, your parish, and the young Catholics you are preparing for First Communion and First Reconciliation.

At Lutheridge, campers engage in a nightly ritual of Cabin Time, during which campers and counselors share faith and notice God’s activity in their lives. As simple as Cabin Time is, the practice of paying attention to God’s presence on a daily basis is life-changing! Cabin Time, the App, strives to guide parents and caregivers through a nightly practice with the simple and transformational elements of camp. This ritual can be done at home, even when we’re not on the mountain together. We hope your whole family will cherish the chance to pause each night with Cabin Time. Cabin Time will guide you through familiar rituals of faith. Each night you’ll light a candle, share “highs and lows,” and pray together. In between, your family will also have the chance to choose an activity that meets the ages/stages of your children. Activities include video-based bible stories, games like “go and tell” or “snapshots” that invite you to share faith in simple ways, and winding-down routines to help you end the day well. All of the activities are created with the ages of your children in mind. Cabin Time is a part of the larger bRIDGE program that strives to equip and empower parents to be the “camp counselor” of the home. The creators of Cabin Time pray that Cabin Time enriches and strengthens your relationships with God and with one another.
