You're right about classic songs! Bernie, I’m glad you found Cornerstone Media to be a good resource. You’re right about classic songs!

I saw a lot of great ideas in their Free Activities page. I also thought that the James Taylor song "You've Got a Friend" really speaks about God's love for us. I may be dating myself (Yikes!!!) but a classic song never dies. Thanks for being a Catechist to all us Catechists out here!!! Thanks for the link to http://www.cornerstonemedia.org.

You're right about certain artists being old school for these kids. I had to explain to them who Joan Osbourne was. She was SO last century! Joe, thanks for your suggestions.

I just read an article Greeley wrote about his "Tunnel of Love" album that was spot on! (http://www.americamagazine.org/content/article.cfm?article_id=11047) I dusted off the album and have been listening to it in the car on the way to work. When it first came out, I bought it, thinking it would be just like "Born in the USA." As a teenage boy, I was very disappointed. As a married father of 4, his lyrics speak to me and where I am in my spiritual journey in so many ways! However, I guess The Boss would probably be too old school for your class. Man, that makes me feel old! A few suggestions:
