Presentations:
- Cruets (mixing of the water and wine)
* The Sunday session was rather difficult this week because a few children refused to follow directions. We only had one trained catechist, which makes it difficult to give lessons to over 20 children.
Level II (7-9 years)
Presenations:
- Books of the Bible
- Mass parts (Julie tells me this was an especially good presentation)
- Liturgical gestures
*On Sundays our focus right now is the Bible works, consisting of several lessons on the origin of the Bible and it's books, as well as Bible study. We also attempt to highlight the Kingdom Parables (at Level II we explore them on a deeper level than Level I). We always leave room for individual choices and many of the children like to explore the works that speak to them. Some of them have produced their own booklets and stories and take a lot of pride in presenting what they have done to the group when we gather at the end of class. Last week, a group wrote and illustrated about the crucifixion and going to church. Our focus will shift toward the maxims and moral parables as we get closer to Lent.
Level III (10-12 years)
Presentations:
- The Voatcion of the Prophets, specifically Isaiah
*The presentations on the prophets will continue in Level III for at least two more weeks, covering multiple prophets incluing Amos, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.
