Family Activity: Connecting to Mission
The Church lives out its mission to share the gospel message in many ways. One way the Church does this is by sending missionaries throughout the world to spread the good news to all peoples. Explain to the students that missionaries show respect for the local cultures in the countries they serve and present the gospel to the people in their own languages. I encourage you to find out about missionary work in their diocese.

Lesson and Overview
Chapter 9 Lesson and Overview Downloadable Resource
This chapter will present the First Commandment, which teaches us that there is but one true God.

• We believe in the one true God
• We honor the one true God
• We love God above all things
• We place our hope and trust in God

Family Activity: Stewardship
As the students learn that they are to believe in and honor God, remind them that they can do so both by praying to and worshiping God and by providing help to others. Jesus is an example of this: He helped others because it was what God his Father called him to do. Invite the students to suggest ways that they can help or serve others, such as by helping tutor a younger student. Help them to see that doing God's will in this way shows honor and love for God.
