In families there can be a lot of sibling rivalry. I grew up in a small house with 9 brothers and sisters and only one bathroom! There was always competition for attention, riding in the car with dad, the last bowl of Lucky Charms and seats at the table.
In our upcoming Sunday Gospel we read of some rivalry among Jesus' disciples. Jesus calls their attention to a different kind of greatness. In our lesson we'll look with our hearts to find out who is really great in God's kingdom. Do you know someone who is great in Jesus' eyes? I hope you enjoy this lesson!
Notes:
Past Lessons: Did you know that all our FOGO lessons can be found on the parish website under Faith on the Go?
6th Grade Bibles: If you have a 6th grader I have a special youth Bible that they will enjoy. Let me know when you would like to pick it up! I'll be at church all day Sunday!
Trunk or Treat: St. James is hosting a Trunk or Treat following 4pm mass on Saturday, Oct. 30th. Costumes are welcome at mass, followed by a parade to the rear parking lot for Trunk or Treat. Trick-or-treat bags will be provided and pizza will be served. There will also be family photo ops!
May God bless the time you spend sharing faith with your children!
