10. GOF Session 4 for Children/Teens The new session of GOF for kids and teens is the Paschal Mystery with emphasis, on Holy Week, particularly, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter.  We will see how Jesus is our hope.  Jesus dying on the cross is not the end but the beginning of new life.  Jesus is our rising sun. He is the Son of God giving us all life and hope. The children’s and teen videos will highlight the resurrection.  As they watch the video, they are encouraged to see how the various people responded to Jesus and to think about how they would respond. Our Easter message is also how to make Jesus alive today by reaching out to people in need and responding in a positive way.  The works of mercy are included in the discussion papers to give guidance in service to others. The children’s handouts include craft suggestions such as an Easter card design and directions to make an Easter wreath.    May our Lenten practices lead us to a joy-filled Easter.   Click the button below to find the videos and handouts.
