Parents and their children begin the meeting together in community with other families. After a 15-minute Welcome section, children meet with their grade-level catechists and are guided through a chapter from the Christ Our Life Student Book. The remaining chapters are taught by parents or taught at weekly meetings with a grade-level catechist. The chapters correspond to the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Visit christourlife.com for a chart showing how the chapters can be grouped to follow this model. Suggestions for other models are offered in the Director Guide.Welcome 15 minutes%u2022 Group prayer%u2022 Scripture %u2022 Group prayer%u2022 Brief sharing activity to preview the part theme Children leave for their respective grade-level meeting%u00a0spaces.Connect 30 minutes%u2022 Parent-focused exploration of the part%u00a0theme%u2022 Small-group sharing activities and%u00a0discussion%u2022 Scripture %u2022 MultimediaClose 15 minutes%u2022 Wrap-up%u2022 Closing prayer%u2022 Information about the next meetingAfter the Group Meeting Parents complete their meeting 15 minutes before the end of the children%u2019s grade-level lesson.
