We will provide a printed version for you that will be in your catechist mailbox on the first day of class. This is our second class so you may want to spend a few minutes getting to know one another and review your classroom rules you developed on the 1 st day. The Pflaum published curriculum will begin on September 30, 2018.
2 Session Plan and Suggested Timeline for September 16, :00am to 9:15am 10:45am 11:00am Welcome & Gathering Activity Welcome any new additions to your class today & have parents fill out the Emergency Contact Information sheet before leaving. Confirm that the child is on your roster. (If a child is not on your roster, please send the family to the coordinator table by the chapel.) Students can work on the word search while waiting for class to start. Go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves - Name and favorite ZOO animal. Take a few minutes to review or create your class rules. Remind parents that there is no pick-up carpool. On Sundays, students can be dropped off at the back entrances of Blessed Trinity or walk in through the front 2 entrances at the main doors or near the chapel. However, parents will need to pick up their child in the classroom at the end of the session. The horseshoe at the front entrance of Blessed Trinity is closed to car traffic on Sundays. Remind parents that class will finish this week and every week at 10:15am / 12:00pm. 9:15am - 9:25am 11:00am 11:10am Create the Prayer table and begin with prayer It is important to have a prayer space present for the children at each class. Basic prayer table supplies will be included in your classroom supply bin. These will be shared between both PSR sessions. The prayer table is the focal point of a classroom prayer space. It is a place where the Bible is given reverence, where children can interact, in a meaningful and positive way, with their faith. Open with a call-and-response prayer. The refrain is taken from the letters of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, martyred in the year A.D. 110: It is not that I want to merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. Leader: All: Leader: Whenever we feel tired and discouraged, Lord, please give us the courage to say with Saint Ignatius: It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. Whenever it seems easier not to practice our faith, let us pray:
3 All: Leader: All: Leader: It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. When we are struggling to understand our faith, let us pray: It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. We ask this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Ask the children if they have ever had to make a choice to do something they felt was right, even though others around them did not understand or agree. Examples might include working hard in sports practice while other team members are being disruptive, or being kind to another child whom others are excluding. You might begin the sharing by recounting an appropriate story of a time when you had to do the right thing without support. The Early Christians: Explain to the children that the early Christians faced similar decisions. The Roman Empire expected everyone to make sacrifices to the Roman gods and to the emperor, whom the Empire believed to be divine. The early Christians believed that if they practiced the pagan religions, even if they just pretended while always believe in in Christ in their hearts, they would lose eternal life. Should they follow their consciences, even though they might be put to death if the Roman authorities caught them disobeying these laws? Or should they go along with worshipping the Roman gods? Most early Christians refused to participate in Roman worship. They met in secret and continued to celebrate Mass in their homes, and they continued to demonstrate their Christianity through the love they showed openly to all. Many Christians were martyred for these decisions. 9:25 9:45 Gospel Reading 11:10 11:30 Jesus teaches us to do the right thing: Proclaim the Gospel below. Mark 8:34-38 Jesus summoned the crouwd with his disciples and said to them, whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoeever wishes to save his life
4 will lost it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoe ever is ashamed of me and of my words the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father s glory with the holy angels. Ask the children to retell the Gospel story in their own words. Then ask the following questions about what Jesus says about doing the right thing: What is Jesus saying we must do? (We must take up our crosses and follow him. We must do what is right, no matter what the cost.) What does Jesus mean when he says we will forfeit life if we try to gain the entire world? (He is talking about eternal life, the life of the person s soul. He is saying that it does not matter how much wealth or fame we have. These things will not do us any good in the end if we do not also have God.) What can we do to show we are not ashamed of Jesus or his words? Accept all reasonable responses. (We can be open about our faith with others. We can answer honestly when people ask us about our beliefs. We can go to Mass and live by the Church teachings. We can wear clothing, jewelry, or other kinds of items that remind people of Jesus.) 9:55-10:15 Unpacking the Our Father 11:40-12:00 TRANSITION TO PRAYER FOCUS: God wants us to share the Good News of His love with others How do we do that? How do we know what to do or what to say? Did you ever need advice? Who did you go to? WE PRAY What is one prayer that we say? The Our Father Our Father Relay Game Materials: 4 sets of Our Father Magnet strips Instructions: Prior to beginning, shuffle the prayer strips and place strips face down (magnet side up) on a table or chair Create three to four teams The first person chooses a strip at random and places it on the white board or a desk The second person chooses a strip at random and places it in the correct spot in relation to the first strip. This is repeated until all the strips are placed on the board/desk. At each player s turn, they may correct any errors that they notice in the order of the prayer.
5 First team done and in correct order wins. Unpacking the Our Father Materials: 1 sets of Our Father Magnet strips Instructions: Shuffle the prayer strips and place face down on the table. Have a child choose a strip, read the line of prayer aloud. As a group discuss the meaning of that line (See Resource below) Close class with the group praying the Our Father 10:15 End of Class 12:00 All children should be picked up by a parent before you leave your classroom today. Please put all class materials into the classroom bins and move the bins back to the location where you found them at the beginning of class. Make sure all trash is cleaned up and put in the classroom trash cans. All classroom furniture should be put back into the original locations before you leave. If you have any extra materials from class, please place those back in your mailbox at the coordinator s table along with the attendance sheet from your class. Unpack the Our Father Our Father, Who art in heaven We start this prayer by professing our core religious belief that God is our heavenly Father the one who is all knowing and all powerful. Notice that Jesus didn t instruct us to say, My Father but stressed Our Father. Scripture scholar John Meier explains that in God s kingdom, we don t live as isolated individuals but we experience God s fatherhood as members of the church, the family of Jesus the Son. This reminds us that we recognize all those around us as children of God and treat them accordingly.
6 Hallowed be Thy Name Hallowed is another word for holy or sanctified. When we say hallowed be Thy name, we are not only telling God I recognize that you are holy, but more importantly, we re asking that His name be recognized by everyone throughout the world as being the ultimate holy power that one day (sooner rather than later) all will know Him to be righteous, powerful, and everyone s one true God. Thy Kingdom come This petition has a two-fold meaning. First, we are asking that God s kingdom (where there s only goodness, honesty, and love for one another) surround us in our everyday life. Secondly, we are praying for the fulfillment of the Lord s promise that He will return at the end of time and grant us eternal life. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven We pray these words asking for God s grace to move us to do His will throughout our life. That means doing all the things that will please our Father even the difficult things, whether it s something big such as moving an elderly parent into our home or volunteering our time once a week at the soup kitchen, to something as small as giving up a parking space or not calling a best friend to spread some juicy gossip. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops says, In committing ourselves to [Christ], we can become one spirit with him, and thereby accomplish his will Give us the day our daily bread Here we re recognizing that all things we need come to us from God. We re asking that God continue to give us not only the food we need for nourishment, but also the Bread of Life, the Eucharist.
7 And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us This is a tough one. It may be easy for us to ask God to forgive us our trespasses or sins, but God in his infinite wisdom teaches us that in order for Him to forgive our wrongdoings, we must first forgive those who ve hurt us. God isn t being difficult, rather He s teaching us that when there is bitterness and anger in our hearts, there s no room for His love to fill our hearts. How can we ask God to be merciful and forgive our sins, if we re holding a grudge or refuse to forgive someone who s wronged us? Forgiving someone is often easier said than done. Only God can give us the strength to do it through prayer. And lead us not into temptation, Temptation and sin go hand in hand. When we come face to face with temptation, it can sometimes be difficult to resist. That s why we need our Father to set up the road blocks and lead us far from the path of temptation. But deliver us from evil. Evil is an unfortunate reality in our world. The devil is always trying to tempt us and makes it his full-time job to look for ways to steer us from the right path and onto the wrong one. The devil has no power over God and when we pray to God for protection against all that is evil, He will shield us always.
