We Belong

Last week, the Faith Formation students explored the theme "We Belong" in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The lesson focused on unity, diversity, and how each of us is uniquely created by God for a special purpose.
The session began with a prayer of thanksgiving, celebrating the uniqueness of each child and the unity of God's family. The students reflected on 1 Corinthians 12:12-20, discussing how the many parts of the Body of Christ work together in harmony.
They also learned about Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and mission, emphasizing his message of love, equality, and belonging. The students engaged with these ideas by reading When God Made You and sharing what makes them unique and how they can show love to others.
Finally, the class worked on a collaborative paper quilt project, where each child decorated a square to represent themselves. The completed quilt symbolizes how their individual gifts and differences come together to create a beautiful, unified community, mirroring God's big plan for all of us.
