Why do we go to church? Why are there so many people in church on Sundays? Why do churches always look so similar inside? Exploring the church is an exciting experience for children. In this volume, they will learn in 12 complete lesson units that church is not just a building, but much more. They will discover why people gather in church, which celebrations are held together, what the objects in the church space mean, and what special places of faith exist alongside their local church. Comprehensive teacher materials, worksheets, further ideas, and a student encyclopedia with important information provide you with the opportunity to introduce your children to the building and the institution of the church. This way, you can present the aspects of the Catholic faith to the students in an age-appropriate manner and make the connections clear.
