The FAITH FIRST
series
is used at Good Shepherd in Levels K-7.
The people of
Resources for Christian Living Publishing
Company believe and we affirm:
-
Faith is a gift of
God.
-
Faith is based not
on an intellectual understanding of doctrine, but on a conversion of the
heart (adopting a way of life.)
-
Faith grows and
develops throughout life.
-
Faith is something
to be lived and is best lived in community.
-
Being a person of
faith means looking at our actions and the world in a different way than
others who are not people of faith. We see things through the eyes of faith,
and all of life changes when we do this.
FAITH
FIRST is based on a firm foundation made up of three essential elements:
-
The beliefs of a
people as explained by the Catholic Church gathered into the Catechism of
the Catholic Church.
-
The story of a
people that has been passed down from generation to generation first and
foremost contained in the Bible.
-
The
celebration of a people as lived out in our liturgical year. (Advent,
Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time.)
We hope you frequent
this with your children.
