What’s inside your free lesson download
Seasonal Scripture
Scripture stories are central throughout our elementary faith formation program, Discover! Finding Faith in Life. In fact, the program uses The Catholic Children’s Bible as the foundation for each lesson!
You’ll see kids’ faces light up as they recognize the connections in Scripture between the Old Testament and the New Testament—and how Jesus is at the center of it all!
Ready-made lesson plans
Preparing for Advent lessons doesn’t need to be stressful. With Discover!, every lesson is ready-to-go with everything you need to lead engaging and active lessons with very little prep time.
These free Advent lessons include the full catechist guide sections. Prayers, activities, and optional extras are laid out and easy to use so that catechists can focus on building relationships and joy in their classrooms!
Activities to engage kids—and families!
You’ll get the whole family involved! Each lesson in Discover! comes with a family page that children get to take home and share.
Each family page offers ways to dive more deeply into Scripture with activities, prayers, and people of faith.
