The Leaven

Last week, the younger Faith Formation students explored The Parable of the Leaven as part of their ongoing lessons about the Kingdom of Heaven.
To bring the lesson to life, the children observed a hands-on demonstration, comparing two cups—one with yeast and one without—to see how yeast transforms flour. They then helped mix and knead dough, watching as it began to rise, reinforcing the idea that something small and unseen can create a powerful transformation, just as God works within us.
After observing and discussing the effects of yeast, they enjoyed freshly baked bread, noticing its warmth, texture, and smell. The lesson ended with a prayer of gratitude, reminding them that even when we cannot see it, God's work is always present and active in our lives.

The older students spent time preparing a demonstration of the History of the Kingdom of God ribbon for the Pandemic Remembrance during the 11 AM service. This was a wonderful opportunity for them to actively participate in this special liturgy while also showcasing some of the meaningful work they have been doing during Faith Formation. Well done, everyone!
