Memorization

They should already be well on their way to memorizing the Creed but this class is a good time to review it and tie it into the lesson. The Nicene Creed.

Bible Reading

The Bible reading from the book for today is Acts 2:1-4 - The Coming of the Holy Spirit at the First Pentecost.

Saints

The recommended saint for this class is St. Patrick Because his feast day will be while we are on Spring Break.

Next week is Spring Break so there will be no class.
