grade three

As Christians we know that God loves and cares for us, that this love is freely given and does not demand that we return the love, or do any-thing to secure it. But as Christians we are able to respond to that gift by loving God in return, a love we show in our worship-in the Armenian Church that tradition of worship is abundantly rich and fulfilling-and towards others. We Believe Grade Three develops these ideas through its theme by drawing on Armenian Church history and by giving the children contemporary examples of how we are called to respond to this special gift of God. Almost every session of the eight curriculum units contains two stories which put the theme into perspective for today's child. A healthy variety of accompanying activities are provided as well, to make for an interesting well-rounded lesson and a year of growth and discovery for each third grader.

Theme: We believe that we are called to respond to God's gift of love.
