Catechist Tip
DVD for Advent and Lent
Looking for a new DVD for Advent to share with youth in your faith formation sessions? Kids and the Church Year from Paraclete Press has an approach that has been used in their Kids and the Sacraments DVD. With segments led by Jenna, she leads to greater understanding of the seasons through “field trips” to an art gallery, butterfly house, glass-blowing shop, fishing fleet, or other destination! A Bible story closes each lesson. See the promotional video below.
