God's Greatest Gift Catechist's Guide
This guide shows catechists how to teach children a life-time skill: how to reflect on their lives in light of the Gospel. It overflows with ideas and activities to stimulate creativity. Both new and experienced cate-chists find the sessions easy to adapt to each child’s needs. Nine sessions focus on these gifts from God: Creation, My Life, Baptism, God’s Word, Friendship, Forgiveness, Peace, Joy, and the Eucharist. One session on our gift to God follows the first communion celebration. The guide includes songs to help children remember and celebrate the message of each session. It also shows how to involve families at home and the entire assembly at Sunday Mass, including plans for an Inscription Mass and the First Communion Mass. $24.95 (1-4 copies); $19.95 (5+)
