Studies of Religion - God, Prayer and Mary: 10 Lesson Plans + 1 Summative Assessment (Year1)

Hello, everyone! Get ready for a wonderful adventure as we learn all about God and our
faith! In these lessons, we're going to discover how much God loves us and how we can talk
to Him – that's called prayer! We'll learn about special people like Mary, Jesus' kind mother,
and other special friends of God called saints. We'll also learn about special signs from God
called Sacraments, like Baptism, which is like a big welcome party into God's family! We'll

together!
