Be Not Afraid
Today’s readings remind us that God watches over and protects us. Together with your family listen to the song “Be Not Afraid,” by Bob Dufford. (It can be downloaded from i-tunes.) Discuss: How does faith in Christ help you when you are afraid?
Do you personally know someone who has shown courage in the face of hardship or fear? Show your support by writing a note of affirmation, or ask that person how you can help.

THE WORD THIS WEEK
Courage
SUNDAY READ ALOUD
The author of Courage offers the reader many approaches to the virtue of courage, from the serious (Courage is being the first to make up after an argument) to a more lighthearted statement (courage is tasting the vegetable before making a face). Throughout the story, the author provides a number of ways in which the trait of courage is defined, and each statement is accompanied by a whimsical watercolor pen and ink illustration. This book offers the reader an opportunity to discuss what courage is and isn’t!

The Little Island
This is a charming story that could be readily shared within a family. The pictures are comforting, and Brown’s writing is poetic and beautiful. Children will have no trouble identifying with the feelings of the kitten or the island. As they learn about the developing relationship between the island and the cat, they will intuitively understand the quality of love and acceptance.
Besides the developing relationship between the Little Island and the kitten, the author describes nature and the changing seasons with picturesque perception.
