The Timetable (2016 - 2017)
3 November 2016 – Parent’s Night (6-9 PM)
This is the first session which is dedicated to Parents of the children where we will explain the program and how you can assist your children in understanding their faith.
Guidelines and information for the Children Sessions:
When the children’s training begins there will be a general discussion and then we break up into our groups to answer individual questions and go through the workbooks.
It is essential that at least one parent sits with the child during this time so that they are aware of what is being taught.
Some children will not ask questions in a group but will ask a parent when they return home.
Children’s understanding is essential to the success of the program and their continuing in their faith
All Children’s sessions are from 6.00pm. to 7.30 pm, please below a summary of the topics and the dates.
