What We See and Do in Church - Introduces Kindergarteners to basic Church teachings, events in the liturgical calendar, Bible stories, and hymns. Each lesson has a brief text and an illustration for coloring. The focus of this program is on creation as God s gift. In discovering the world, the student understands that family, friends, and all things come from God. Through depictions of the daily experiences of God s world, students come to realize that God is real, loving, and caring.
Faith is awakened and is expressed through prayer, worship, services to others, and thanksgiving.
This program concentrates on the theme of loving God. Through the example of men and women of the Bible, and of the Saints, students begin to understand the concepts of right, wrong, and forgiveness in the light of God s love. They also learn the importance not only of loving God unconditionally, but also of respecting other people, of taking care of God s environment, and doing good in His Name. As the student grows in understanding, the emphasis shifts to sharing, based on the life of the Church. In this program, students learn about sharing through the examples of Jesus.
