This side of heaven, errors are bound to happen.  In your syllabus, there is a problem with the dating.  Here is the updated Syllabus:

Revised 7th & 8th Catechesis Syllabus

We’ll hand this out tonight to all of the students.

Also, tonight we’re beginning the 5th Chief Part of the Catechism, Confession and Absolution.  That means we finished the unit on Baptism, and it’s time for the Baptism Discussion Exam.  We’ll hand that out too, but here it is:

Discussion Exam 4 PDF

Christmas Blessings to you all!

Almost Christmas time and the year is flying by.

A couple of things to point out this week:

First of all, Term Quiz 2C was never passed out.  This was an oversight.  We won’t be requiring it but you can download it here if you’d like to use it anyway.

Second, Term Quiz 3 was accidentally let off the syllabus.  This also will not be required.  Here  it is if you’d like to use it.

Finally, Discussion Exam 3 over the Lord’s Prayer was on the syllabus for last week, but we didn’t hand it out because of the shortened class time.  It’s assigned this week and is available for download here:

Discussion Exam 3

With that turned in next week, we should be all caught up.

You should have received progress reports in the mail last week.  Please take  look at those and let us know if you have any questions or concerns (some of you already have!).  Soon it’ll be spring and we’ll be thinking about confirmation!  Keep up the hard work.

Advent Blessings in Christ,

Pastors Brown and Troester

We’re due for another Discussion Exam as we finish with the 3rd article and the Apostles Creed.  By now, your students should be able to recite the 10 commandments, all three articles of the Apostles Creed, and meanings.  Quiz them and see!

Here is Discussion Exam 2C PDF.  To the parents that have been keeping up an encouraging your children to keep up, we can’t thank you enough!  To the parents whose children have fallen behind, please work to catch up.  All the exams and quizzes are available here for download.  Let Pastor Troester or Pastor Brown know if we can help!

Oh one more thing.  In the 7th grade classroom, we’ve been keeping a class score.  When a student is present for class, they get a point.  When their team wins a game, they get a point.  When they correctly answer a really hard question or ask an excellent question, they get a point.  Tonight will be the fourth week keeping score, and I want to recognize the top 3 students so far.

1st Place: Megan (16 pts)
2nd Place: Jennifer (10 pts)
3rd Place: Collette (7 pts)

Competition is intense and positions change weekly!  Keep it up!

That’s all for now.  God’s blessings to you all, in Christ!
