Spirituality Module

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Orthodox Spirituality Module is to teach the fundamentals of what it means to be an Orthodox Christian. In first grade, the lessons focus on obedience in the children's lives, prayer, church, and spirituality. Obedience helps grow the spiritual lives of people, therefore children need to understand the importance of it in regards to their spiritual lives. In this particular lesson, students will learn a story from the Bible that represents obedience and talk about what it means to obey and the importance of it.
