Sunday School Curriculum <strong>Grade</strong> 5<br />

The Christians observe <strong>the</strong> Sabbath.<br />

Keeping Sunday holy means that on that day we are to play with our friends.<br />

Christ likes us to visit <strong>the</strong> poor people on Sunday.<br />

Hold a conversation about how to keep Sunday holy. Let <strong>the</strong> children give <strong>the</strong>ir suggestions<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n make an agreement with <strong>the</strong> children to go to church and attend <strong>the</strong> Holy Mass, receive<br />

<strong>the</strong> Holy Communion, pray, read <strong>the</strong> Bible, visit <strong>the</strong> sick people and <strong>the</strong> poor people on that day<br />

in particular.<br />

Conclusion:<br />

We should always observe Sunday, <strong>the</strong> Lord‘s Day and we should thank God for He is<br />

merciful to us. He does not treat us if we did not observe it <strong>the</strong> same way as He treated <strong>the</strong><br />

people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Old Testament.<br />

Let us observe Sunday… let us worship <strong>the</strong> Lord, receive <strong>the</strong> Holy Communion, read <strong>the</strong><br />

Holy Bible, give alms, not to do anything that can be postponed so that we may devote our<br />

time to prayers and contemplation.<br />

Applications:<br />

Make an attendance diary for each student to record attendance to church, communion,<br />

praying and reading <strong>the</strong> Bible every week.<br />

Arrange that all <strong>the</strong> students <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> class go for confession and communion next Sunday.<br />

Arrange to visit an orphanage after Sunday liturgy with <strong>the</strong> students.<br />
