PREP News- WFC Version
Unit 1
Thanks for coming out for our first parent meeting! It was great to see you all sharing your insights and faith as we discussed the main topics of Unit 1!
Starting Unit 1!
Some important things to do as we prepare to begin our WFC (Whole Family Catechesis) PREP this year
- Think about a time each week you want to devote to your child/ren's PREP lesson. Some families have successfully put aside time each Sunday as a special day to work with their children on their religious lessons.
- Prepare a special place for these lessons...include a Bible, rosary, candle, or other sacramentals.

Some Highlights of Unit 1--God Our Creator and Father
- God created everything and everything God created is good!
- God is our loving Father
- We believe in the Holy Trinity...God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
- Prayer--we pray beginning with the Sign of the Cross
- Stories of the Old Testament (Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham and Sarah)
