Class - The Eucharist Book Chapter 2 - We Gather

Topics in this chapter:
The Crucifix
Jesus is The Way
The Washing of the Disciples Feet (Jesus shows us the way to serve others)
Serving Others
Sunday - Mass
We Gather Together - Introduction to the Mass
Ask For God's Mercy - The Penitential Act
Give Glory - "Glory to God"
We show Sorrow and Then We Praise
Homework at end: Go to Mass and observe

The 2 main topics of this chapter are that Jesus taught us to serve others and the importance of the Mass and the details of the first part of the Mass. Last week the Mass part of your class was the first part of the Introductory rites, this week it is the next part - the Gloria, fitting in with the theme of this chapter.

I usually add a worksheet on the sacraments so that they can remember them and don't forget the previous class. Pull one from the Sacraments Chapter. They need to know the sacraments.
