Foundations is a weekly course of teaching for children and young people created by the Church Union, by authors who have hands on experience of teaching children in parishes.
The materials have been put together with the aim to:
- Be able to be easily picked up and run by leaders who do not necessarily have detailed theological knowledge.
- Be easily used by leaders who do not have a lot of time to prepare.
- Be flexible to allow for sessions of different lengths of time.
- Be adaptable: for small groups with wide age ranges, or large groups that are age specific.
The material is based on the 3-Year Lectionary to enable children to follow the same scripture readings as the readings being used in Mass. Generally one reading for each week is taken as the basis of each lesson.
The resources are split across two files: Advent to Pentecost and Trinity to Christ the King.
