LEVEL 3  2008 - 2009 SCHEDULE

Christ, Jesus the Way has, as its theme, the story of Jesus at the wedding of Cana (see John 2:1-11)  Just as Mary urged the servants to "Do what he tells you", the children learn throughout the year that they, too, are called to do as Jesus asks.  In order to follow Jesus, they learn about what Jesus said and did by exploring the Word of God and the teachings of the Church.  The story of the wedding at Cana shows that God's children are rewarded when they follow Jesus' command.  Level 3 teaches the children that all are called to be apostles of Jesus, loving God and one another, and spreading the Good News everywhere.
