RE syllabus

I've pretty much been winging it when I've gone out to Abby's house to do RE with her. I usually talked off the top of my head about the readings for the coming Sunday.

I hope to change. The readings will still be a big part of the sessions, but I'm also hoping to:

• talk to her about the structure of the mass,
• teach her a prayer or two or three -- Lord's prayer, Francis's peace prayer, maybe Niebuhr's serenity prayer,
• maybe go through the Apostle's Creed phrase by phrase,
• talk more about saints, and
• come up with some activity --drawing, puzzle, story telling -- that might make the whole thing a little less like school (or church).

(Not all of these things every week, of course.)
