Lesson in a Bag™ Eucharist is:
Quick: Catechists can come to class 10 minutes before the children, grab their bag and be ready to teach that night. No more fumbling through catechist guides wondering which pieces to cover and hoping to get through it all. No need for catechists to have in-depth training or theological knowledge to succeed in teaching the Lesson in a Bag.
Easy-to-Use: The Catechist Cards™ are easy to follow and allow the catechist to teach the lesson with confidence. All the catechist needs to do is pull out the Catechist Cards, read through them once before the children arrive, then follow them through the class period like following a recipe for cooking. It’s that easy. Each Catechist Card directs the catechist through the easy-to-follow, clear lesson, providing exact words to say to the children, step-by-step. Easy as 1, 2, 3.
Ready-to-Go: Everything the catechist needs to teach is in the bag. These lessons cover all of the important content while allowing the children to have a lot of fun at the same time through interactive engagement. All handouts are included, NO MORE SPENDING TIME MAKING COPIES! No more spending time worrying about keeping track of student books.
All content comes from the Eucharist Child’s Book in the Celebrate and Remember series, which holds the declaration of conformity to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Each Lesson in a Bag™ includes the Catechist Cards™ and 20 copies of student handouts.

Components
Lesson 1, Eucharist introduces children to the Scripture story about Jesus calling his first Apostles. Children will understand that, as members of the Church, we belong to Christ. They will also be able to name the three Sacraments of Christian Initiation that begin our life in the Church. Children will recall that Baptism welcomes us into the Church and takes away all sin. They will also realize that Jesus will be with them along the way.
Lesson 5, Eucharist introduces children to the Scripture story about Jesus reading from the Old Testament in the synagogue at Nazareth. Children will understand how God speaks to us through Sacred Scripture, and will learn about the two parts of the Bible. They will realize that we can ask other people to help us understand the Scripture readings. Children will also learn that the Holy Spirit can help us listen to the Word of God.
