Resources for Faith Formation at Home

While we aren't holding classes this week, we hope that you will take some time to read a Bible Story, Sing a song (see video of Youth Choir below!) or discuss your faith with family members.

Topics to Discuss:

Christmas Day may have past, but did you know that the season of Christmas, those 12 Days of Christmas we sing about,

are the 12 days AFTER Christmas!

The arrival of the Magi

(another song, "We 3 Kings of Orient Are") is celebrated on 1/6 and is called................. Epiphany!

Read Matthew 2:1-12 to learn the story!

QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS:

What did the Magi follow?

Where did they go first to ask directions?

How many gifts did they bring?

This Sunday, 1/9 is the celebration of Jesus's Baptism!

Read Luke 3 to learn more!

QUESTIONS TO DISCUSS:

Where did Jesus get Baptized?

Who baptized him?

What did God say about it?

What bird was present? Why?

What do you know about your Baptism?

Many of the Faith Formation Classes use the

Feasting on the Word Curriculm, and it can be used home!
