The Solemnity of Jesus Christ the King

Source

Today is the Solemnity of Jesus Christ the King who is king over all creation.  In the Catholic Church, we celebrate it each year on the last Sunday before Advent to remember His authority over us all. For my class today, I spent some time teaching my class about Jesus Christ as King.


We made these book marks that includes a prayer.


And then followed up on an activity that they were supposed to do at home with their families.  
They had been instructed to write a Family Mission Statement.


We talked about how Jesus is supposed to be included in their Family Mission Statements.  
That by obeying,being kind and loving; they honor Jesus when they treat their family in a loving and obedient manner.

We then decorated our mini Christ the King cakes (banana bread with chocolate chips).  
The gum drops represents the jewels and the Rolos represents the gold found on royal crowns.


We had a great class celebrating Jesus Christ as King!

Peace & Blessings,
Noreen
