Yesterday afternoon it was again: Communion preparation hour 2! I do I'm really hard to make everything is properly prepared. Of course I care professional requires a higher age group and better serve my child needs as guinea pigs to test whether everything is age appropriate.
Yet! If you can not even as third-graders sign of the cross, let alone the text under leads them right from the Lord's Prayer or other prayers to mention ...
officially here in the parish are only 4 units for domestic groups planned: first
Unit: kennenleren each other. With such guesswork and flower painting etc
2 Unit: We all belong together. Pariah in his circle of friends and Zacchaeus story.
third Unit: baking bread. Topic bread as essential to life, each other bread.
4th Unit: we have a party
the rest and the "theological" Vorbreitung is allegedly made in the school. But if manage the children do not even after more than 2 years RU ordinary sign of the cross with text, some questions were raised me, or?
The confession comes only turn one year after the first communion, said the children were in the 3rd Class nor too small for the issue of guilt and reconciliation!
have After tough negotiations with those responsible I for my group then can hammer out but 6 hours and I got free choice of my materials and topics promised, after I had organized a somewhat larger uprising, to which I now prefer not to elaborate. ..
(including benefits for theological expertise when it is not even from and with pleasure and supposedly autocratic totally theologically educated, there may indeed ranreiben in 2 years of weekly evening classes for the bored housewife educated "religious teacher"? ) ;-))
order for the children in my group now do not have a totally different class than everyone else, I will bake bread with them, but we will move the jaws to the last hour, along with the party.
Yesterday, I now made a small Bible-Introduction.
had in the first unit we tinkered Jesus of course, our flower, which was also very nice, all around with the children as petals. I then had the meaning of their name picked out and of course what Jesus means. Then I asked what they know about Jesus and they could paint a picture that shows Jesus surrounded by a group of children and the image they have written then what they know about Jesus.
basic thrust was that on 24 Born in December and he had many friends and has lived and was nice. Accordingly, I
knew that it would be difficult.
In Herder-Verlag there Communion portfolio "What can we build" which contains some very good ideas include a Bible-Leporello.
Then, finally, the excellent book "My First Holy Communion" from the Irish Clonmacnois-Verlag arrived and I used some lyrics from it and yet what even "To handicrafts.
I had a couple of Bibles designed to look at, from my daughter's Bibles Children up to my study periods untouched since AT Hebrew and Greek NT, which arrived for their strangeness very good ;-))
am whole, I quite disappointed. The children knew of biblical stories from the Old Testament only Noah (who built the ship with the animals that exists in Playmobil) and the Tower of Babel (the people wanted to build a skyscraper and was punished by God for it) ... a huge amount of ... they did not even Moses or Abraham ... Actually, I would need
alone again for the Bible a whole unit, but it's still so much to know what they should.
'm already pondering for the next unit:
either the life and work of Jesus and a matching at least the text from the Lord's Prayer, so that they learn at least a prayer.
Or because it is just before Lent: Presentation of the church year and the procedures ...
What do you think?
