Lesson Plans: Laying the Foundation
November 17, 2010 by Lisa Mladinich
Beginning with these simple steps will provide a solid basis for your lessons and give you the confidence to really shine with the light of Christ.
But above all, remember to work on your own relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, study, and sacramental life. He is the only sure foundation.
Thanks for all the comments, last week! I'm keeping you all in my prayers. Please pray for me, too.
God bless you!
Next Week: Planning your way out of boredom and into the thrill of a great lesson.
Homework: Send me your favorite classroom activities! I'd like to share them with our readers.
*Note: All scriptures quoted in this column are from the Ignatius Revised Standard Catholic Edition.
