4 Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C November 10, 2013 Gospel Reading Jesus answers a question from some Sadducees about the resurrection of the dead. (short form Luke 20:27, 34-38) Making the Connection (Grades 1, 2, and 3) Young children may not have had much experience with death and dying. We can begin to introduce them to the mysteries of our faith, especially those concerning death and resurrection, by using experiences and things with which they are familiar. Materials Needed Items made from wood (sheet of paper, a pencil, wooden toy, stick) Picture of a tree Preparation for Sunday Scripture Readings 1. Show the group items made from wood such as a sheet of paper, a pencil, a picture of or toy wooden table, a picture of or toy wooden canoe, a stick (firewood), or any other items you may have available. Then show them a tree or a picture of one. 2. Ask: In order for a tree to live, what sort of things does it need?(water, soil, sunlight) When a tree is cut down and used as firewood or to make any of these items, does it still need water, soil, and sunlight? Emphasize the point with a series of questions with obvious answers. Use questions such as: Does this pencil need water and sunlight? What about this wood toy? Say: Once it is dead, it has a new purpose. 3. Say: In the Gospel this week, Jesus tells us that after we die, we also will not need the same things we did when we were alive. Instead, we will have a new and different life with Christ. 4. Read the short form of today's Gospel, Luke 20:27, Discuss what things might be different after we die including those things mentioned in the Gospel that we will not get married or die ever again. 5. Ask the children how this makes them feel. There may be a number of responses, but try to emphasize the good news that even after we die, we will continue to have a relationship with God and that this will be wonderful and beyond our imaginations. 6. Conclude in prayer together by praying today's Psalm or by praying for those who have died.
