Class Preview - February 22nd

Dear Parents and Familes, 
Our next class, Sunday Feb. 22nd, will be devoted to a special project that is being done for the First Holy Communion Class. We will have a guest coming to our class to instruct us on how to create a Quilt Square. Each square that we complete will be sewn into an actual quilt along with all the squares made by all our classmates. This will create one (or more) large quilt to be given to a child in our community who is ill. 

The creation of these quilts is teaching the children to be aware of others who may not be as fortunate as we are. It is showing them how giving to others and community service can really touch the lives of people in our community. 

This project may run over the allotted 1 hour. Please be prepared to pick your child up between 1:45 pm and 2:00 pm on Sunday depending on how much time it takes the children to complete their quilt squares. Thank you.

February 8th Class

Dear Parents and Families, 
We had a very busy last class. We began with our work books and reading the story from our work book. The story was Standing on Holy Ground. It discussed how Moses saw the burning bush; God came to him and told him that it was holy ground. 

Next we worked on our Faith Books. We wrote in the groups that we belong to and our God Parents names. 
Lastly, we went into the church with Miss Rose and practiced receiving the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ. We were able to taste the un-blessed host. We were able to hold the chalice and try to sip the water that was in it in place of the blessed wine. It was a helpful experience because now we know what to expect on our First Holy Communion Day. 

Our next class will be Sunday, February 22nd
See you then.

February 1st Class

Dear Parents and Families, 
Today we read out of our God's Gift Eucharist workbooks. We read the Story of the Ark of the Covenant. 


Today in class we also worked on our Vision Boards. We will be adding to them each class and then they will hang in the Faith Formation hallway before our Communion. Today we worked on groups we belong to, our favorite story and our favorite food. 

Then we worked on our FAITH books. We reviewed the Sign of the Cross and the Trinity


We are getting very excited about making our First Holy Communion. 

We have 6 more classes before we make our Communion. 

Our next class will be February 8th. See you then.
