Week 16: Our Loving God

Goal: God loves us and wants to be reunited with us

Notes for the Teacher: I was once told by my spiritual father that we need to think about who we are in the gospels. Not – who we think we are, but who are we? Are we the older brother or the younger brother? Have we been both at different points in our lives? (See “The Prodigal God” link below) Do we strive to forgive and be merciful to those who have hurt or betrayed us?

The Journey to Pascha poster is a tool for discussing the Sundays of Great Lent, the services during Lent, a discussion opportunity for families as they plan which services they’ll be attending, and also as a countdown to Pascha for younger children.

The Prodigal God

This book was given to my husband many years ago by our metropolitan. It is a short and good read.
