Fantastic Faith Feb. 6



Gospel lesson for the fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 2.8.2015

Dear Parents,

Today your child listened to a simplified version of  Mark 1:29-39.

Theme: Jesus brings healing and happiness

Symbol:  Hand


To reinforce at home:  
In the gospel, we hear of the miracles that Jesus was performing in the beginning of his ministry.  He used his hands to help others.  By touching people that no one else would touch, he healed more than just physical illnesses.  We follow Jesus’ example in the care we show to the people around us.  He asks us to use our hands to help others because quite often it helps US to feel better.

Activities to do at home:

*Make a list!  Together with your child, make a list of ways that you can use your hands in Mass to worship together.

*Help others!  Do you know someone who is elderly or sick and could use a hand with light housework or errand-running?

Fantastic Faith Jan. 30th



Gospel lesson for the fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 2.1.2015

Dear Parents,

Today your child listened to a simplified version of  Mark 1:21-28.

Theme: Jesus is Our Teacher

Symbol:  Mouth


To reinforce at home:  
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus teaches during Sabbath synagogue worship and expels an evil spirit who interrupts him. The people who witness this are amazed at his authority. They comment that he is a far greater teacher than any of their rabbis. WE discussed the importance of the many teachers in the children’s lives. The readings also tell us today tell us about using our voices to do God’s work and share his love.

Activities for home:
*Be grateful!  Together with your child, choose someone who makes a difference in your life and tell them thank you.

*Sing God’s praises!  Use your voice to sing a song praising God.  Teach the song to your child and sing together.

*Praise each other!  Use your voice to share God’s love with each other.  Tell your child how happy you are to live with them.
