Grade 3: The Church is God’s Family!

Description

While we encounter God in many places in our lives, especially in our families, we encounter Him in a very special way in and through the Church that Jesus started. The Church is the family of God and we become members of the Church through Baptism. Students are taught about the beauty of the Church with her birthday on Pentecost, the growth of the Church through the Apostles, and the family of the Church with its unity and diversity. Special emphasis is given to faith as the means by which we entrust our lives to God and learn to live in His love at all times. We profess our faith through the Creed, which affirms our belief in the three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
