Exodus/Passover and the Sacraments of Initiation – Update

Joe Paprocki Intermediate Grades, Scripture

Here is the latest addition to my lesson for tomorrow evening on the Sacraments of Initiation and how they tie-in to the Exodus/Passover story.

I developed a chart that the young people will once again need to manipulate (I will do it as a projection but you can use it as a worksheet) to put the correct words in place to show the connection between the Sacraments of Initiation and the Exodus/Passover experience. The chart, when completed, shows the following:

The Hebrew People

The Exodus/Passover and the Sacraments of Initiation

Sin

A lamb

Saved by the blood of…

The Lamb of God

The Red Sea

The Holy Spirit

Here is the chart as a Word Document with the words randomly placed below and the chart above empty:

Here is the chart (as a PDF) with the answers in the correct place as above:

Next step: I need to put all the pieces together to form a coherent lesson…stay tuned!

This coming Monday, my lesson will be on the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, and I plan to also talk about the mystery of the Trinity.

We dedicated our prayer to the people in […]
