Christ is Risen!
2019-2020 Theme
Christ IS Risen! curriculum aims to explain the significance of the resurrection in several ways:
- Christ IS Risen- The accounts from His friends and witnesses prove that He actually rose from the dead
- Christ IS Risen- We say IS because the Resurrection continues for eternity
- Christ IS Risen- Christ fulfills the Old Testament Prophecy of the coming Messiah
This program has three levels of curriculum:
Level 1 - Pre-School - Grade School ages 4-8
Level 2 - Grade School ages 8-12
Level 3 - Middle/High School ages 13 -18
The sessions are approached from a holistic concept of traditional learning and lived knowledge (Praxis). The curriculum is split into two sections based on this concept. The curriculum was designed for successive use; however, sessions may be used as stand-alone modules. Extensive leader notes and instruction are provided throughout the curriculum. The Praxis sessions have an emphasis on involving the whole family to experience the journey to Pascha together.
We are especially pleased to offer special sessions that were created by the Ukrainian Historical and Educational Center. These sessions explore Ukrainian traditions associated with Pascha and their tie to the faith. These session will be made available in the spring.
We encourage you to utilize this curriculum and incorporate the theme within your youth programming.
