SUMMARY:Faith Formation Leader Lesson Swap
DESCRIPTION:Why recreate the wheel when you can benefit from the wisdom and experience of your peers? \nPlease plan on joining us for a virtual lesson swap! Like a cookie swap\, you can bring your favorite lesson plan and come away with lessons from other faith formation leaders. \nThe meeting will take place from 9:30am-11:00am and will be divided into 3 sections: we’ll spend 30 minutes on each of these 3 different age groups: K-8\, Middle School\, High School. \nIf you’d like to participate\, consider sharing a lesson plan that has borne fruit\, been a “homerun”/outside of the box\, is not curriculum based\, and contains content that is in line with our beautiful Church teaching. \nThe sample template is offered as a guide on the type of information to include in the lesson plan. Please submit your lesson plan to rmaffei@rcab.org by 1/27/23. At the meeting\, please plan to spend about 5 minutes explaining the background/context of your lesson plan to the others in attendance. \nWhile we are excited to learn from one another and have some fun at the lesson swap\, the specific lesson plans shared are not necessarily endorsed/approved by RCAB. \nWe are hopeful that this lesson swap offers you a fun way to share with other leaders\, learn from one another\, and save some much-needed time so that you can truly focus on creating programs rooted in providing encounters with Christ and building relationships to help each person grow closer to Him in and through His Church. \nRegister here!
