Week 2 Went Well
September 18th, 2007 by Joe
Week 2 of religious education went very well. I remembered most of the kids’ names (next week…NO name tags!) and they continued to be very well-behaved. We went to Church for an opening prayer service and the pastor did a nice job of speaking to the kids about the upcoming year and talking about Jesus as the “key” to our salvation.
Next week, I will be getting a new student with special needs (hearing impairment). The DRE has assigned an adult to be a faith companion for him (she will attend class with him and assist in any way he needs). I look forward to this opportunity and ask the Holy Spirit to help me to meet his special needs and the needs of all of my participants.
By the way, the Albany, New York diocesan paper, The Evangelist, ran a nice story about The Catechist’s Toolbox in the Catechetical Sunday issue. The story also appears on their website. Click here: http://www.evangelist.org/archive/htm8/0913papr.htm
