Four Marks of the Church Mobile and Lesson

Four Marks of the Church Mobile and Lesson



I had a chance to write and create this lesson today that a few people suggested last night. It is a mobile lesson on the four marks of the Church. I think it would be good for children who have already made their First Holy Communion, but that is only a suggestion. I learned a lot as I tried to make connections for the children at their level using the CCC. I hope many find it fun and useful. My kids were jazzed about it as I put it together today. That’s always a good sign.

Here's what we did in my CCD class last week to begin covering the seven sacraments. Like it? It is a lesson and art project in one. It took us about 50 minutes to do the lesson and finish the art part. I finally wrote out the formal directions so that you can download it for your own Religious Ed., CCD or home use now.
