Middle School Faith Formation
Weekly assignments will be posted with "due" dates indicated. Assignments fall into three main categories:
Learn (Week 1): The theme for the month will be introduced and there will be some reading, writing, and reflection during this week.
Live (Week 2): Students will reflect upon how they can put what they have learned into action in their daily lives. Students will be given a choice of assignments and you can just choose one!
Love (Week 3): Students WILL put their faith into action by performing service activities either during the in-person class time or at home.
Handing in assignments, there are a few choices:
For online activities, students can print the sheets, complete them at home and return them to their FF teacher during the monthly "in-person" class. (I would recommend setting up a folder for your FF work)
OR
Students can email me completed assignments (tbrysgel@stjfchurch.org) and/or take a picture of their completed project (for example a craft project) and text picture to me at 860-830-2194.
As we journey down this new path together, I appreciate your feedback as to how we can make this process easier. Things may change along the way as we all adapt and adjust!

LoveOur "Love"assignment for January will be a choice of one of two things:
After watching the Man in the Mirror video, I hope it moves you to want to make a difference in this world. You can choose to become a penpal with a student from a different country : learning more about their culture , race, religion and growing in love and understanding . With your parents permission, go to Students of the World penpal network and make a connection across the world. DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OR ImmaCare is a homeless shelter in Hartford that helps transition individuals and families into new apartments and safe living spaces. They are in need of donations for "welcome kits" which help people who are moving into a new apartment: I will leave a bin outside of the church hall if you would like to donate : cleaning supplies, hygiene products, bathroom items, , dish towels, dish soap or any other item that someone in a new apartment would need . |
Faith is taking the first step even when you do not see the whole staircase.
