Missionary Childhood

Missionary Childhood – special mission!  This year, we have learned about missionaries from around the world, now it’s time to tell your story!  Go to this link and tell me about your “missionary” plans with Jesus!  https://forms.gle/UHHiAeM6mNYa7ZFK8 Think about how following the Commandments and the Beatitudes will help you to live out God’s plan for you,

Main Ideas

  • Review this past year of Faith Formation First Disciple with your child, and talk about who were your favorite people to meet. What makes someone a friend of Jesus? How are we (and your child) friends of Jesus?  e., praying, talking with each other, listening, doing what Jesus tells us to do, loving others, respecting our parents, reading Bible stories about Jesus, going to Mass, etc.
  • You and your child are called to holiness – to be saints! Activities below will guide you.

Week 2: You Are Chosen!

Main Ideas

  • God calls each one of us, including you. Learn to listen to God’s voice. Talk to him regularly, every day – even all day.  Learn to take everything you do to God in prayer.
  • Jesus calls you as his disciple! He wants you to learn to follow him closely.
  • You will learn and grow from Jesus as you stand beside him, while he does miraculous things!
