***7th Grade Religion***

This week we are beginning Chapter 5 in our Blest Are We.  This chapter discusses the Kingdom of God.  We will be discussing the meaning, the growth, and the value of creating the Kingdom of God here on earth. This chapter focuses on our responsibility to reach out to all people, especially to those who are less fortunate than we and show them love, compassion, and mercy.  We will also be discussing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.

This week we will be finishing chapter 7 in our Morality book.  This chapter discusses the importance of family life.  We will be discussing the values and virtues learned at home and how we carry those with us as we go out into society and become a part of a larger community.  The chapter 7 test will be Thursday.

It's hard to believe that the first trimester is coming to an end this Friday!  It's important that all students check power school and make sure they are current with all assignments, tests, and quizzes.
