Received: Your Journey to First Communion Starter Pack (Includes Online Leader's Access)

The Received: Your Journey to First Communion Starter Pack provides all of the resources a leader needs to plan and implement Received. It contains:

• The Online Leader's Access gives leaders access to a digital version of the Leader’s Guide as well as all of the student videos, the parent information session and materials, and the retreat guide and materials. This specially developed online access integrates the various resources per lesson to simplify lesson planning (assessments, lesson goals, activities, student workbook content with leader notes, etc.), making it easier than ever for leaders to plan and implement each lesson.
• The Online Leader’s Certification is a six-session course that offers support for leaders to quickly and easily train their team to deliver both First Reconciliation and First Communion preparation. Your team will receive practical guidance on what to expect and how to respond to typical situations that are likely to arise. In the end, your team will come away with an increased sense of confidence and enthusiasm to serve the children and families in your program.
• The Leader’s Guide provides an overview and an easy 7-step structure for every lesson, lesson objectives, and the complete Student Workbook content with wrap-around leader’s notes and interactive activities.
• The Student Workbook is seamlessly integrated with the videos and includes 12 lessons with hands-on activities, prayers, saint connections, main teaching content, Visio Divina, Bible stories, car conversation, take-home activities, discussion questions, and more.
• The Receiving Jesus: My Guide to the Mass take-with-you book helps children become comfortable going to Mass by showing them not only when to sit, stand, and kneel and what to say but also why we do the things we do at Mass. They’ll learn about the roles of the different people they see at Mass, like the ushers, lectors, cantors, deacons, and priests. This is the perfect book for them to bring to Mass!
• The DVD Set provides twelve lessons (approximately 3-5 minutes each) and shares the story of Felicity as she prepares to receive her First Communion.
• The Parent's Guide offers a simple way for parents to be involved in their child's formation and accompany their child throughout First Communion preparation. Each lesson in the child's workbook has a corresponding section in the Parent's Guide.
• The Parent’s Certification Course provides four short sessions that offer spiritual encouragement and refreshment for parents, as well as guidance on how to help their child prepare for these important sacraments. The course includes a digital Parent's Guide. Each lesson in your child’s book has a corresponding section in the Parent's Guide. Parents receive a certificate of completion when they finish the course.
• The Complete Prayer Card Set provides a single copy of the twenty-four prayer cards available, drawn from the 24 lessons in the Renewed and Received programs.
