9-25 Chapters 1 and 2

We spent our second class focusing on Chapters 1 & 2. 

In Chapter 1, we learned about Our Church welcoming us. 

In Chapter 2, we learned about belonging to The Church. 

We learned that The Church means more than just The Church of the Holy Spirit in Schaumburg, IL. We talked about the Pope being our head of the Church all over the world. 

We also learned about how Baptism welcomes us to the church. We acted out a baptism and each of us played an important part: Mom, Dad, Godmother, Godfather, Priest, and family. Important symbols in baptism: oil, water, and white clothing. 

Check out the Chapters about baptism. Take some time showing your child pictures of his/her own baptism and remembering these important pieces. 

At the end of class we drew a picture about what we learned. We are going to do this at the end of every class. It will be a great opportunity to look back during the year at the important things we have learned.
