Description
Grade 3, Unit 6: We Believe We Share Our Faith
In this unit, students learn that God wants us to share our faith with others, spreading the good news of His love and salvation. This unit delves into the accounts of Saint Paul’s missionary travels, highlighting his deep love for Christ and his commitment to spreading the gospel. Students will explore how Saint Paul’s dedication is a powerful example of sharing faith and love with others.
The unit emphasizes that God's love is unconditional and universal, demonstrated profoundly through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. By examining the lives of the Unmercenary Brothers and Saint Nicholas, students will see how acts of love and kindness can effectively spread the good news of God's love through actions. These Saints exemplify how sharing what we have with others, both in material and spiritual terms, reflects God's love for us.
Furthermore, the unit teaches that Jesus calls us to practice justice, which involves loving God above all things and loving our neighbors as ourselves. This principle is central to sharing our faith and living out the teachings of Christ. Through this unit, students will understand that sharing faith is not only about words but also about actions that reflect God's love and justice in the world. This understanding will empower them to take responsibility for their actions and their role in spreading God's love.
