Mister Meese working on a child-sized lectern. |
Enter the greatest handyman, who also happens to be a member of the Antiochian Orthodox church. This week he's been helping make a teeny tiny lectern, altar, prayer table, chasuble holders--you name it! I hope to show lots of photos soon of a new, improved little classroom. Oh, and someday I hope to catch up with my Level 2 Catechesis of the Good Shepherd training, for 6- through 9-year-olds!
If you've never heard of this beautiful method of passing on the faith, check out Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA.
Oh, so nice reading about this... I have my own atrium and working with children from 3-6 for 3 years. I also hope I could attend training for 6-9 (it begins in October in Slovenia). I would recommend you do make some good lists-one for wooden materials, one for fabric materials, one for glass... and make all from one material at once. It worked well with me. best wishes,

Thanks for the advice! I will try that. You are lucky if you will be entering Level 2 training after already making all of your Level 1 items--I get the two levels all jumbled up in my brain, so that it's hard for me to remember which presentation is for which level! LOL! :) I hope that you can continue training. It has been a wonderful learning experience for me and has helped my faith grow. God bless you!
