Saints Module

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Saints module is to teach eighth graders about the rich tradition of writers in the Coptic Orthodox Church throughout its history. They will learn how the different writers not only passed down wisdom which we must apply in our own lives, but also how their writings contributed to and ultimately shaped the Christian faith as a whole.

You will notice each lesson incorporates readings and writings from the fathers. Please think deeply about how best to transmit these to your Sunday School group when preparing your lessons.
