Faith in Action: A Hands-On Religion Resource

This full-color religion resource is designed to help your eighth-grader grow in maturity through inspirational stories, reflections, hands-on activities, and service to others.

Inspirational Stories and Activities
The stories, reflections, and hands-on activities in Faith in Action touch on themes such as what it means to love my neighbor; watching our words; how God brings good out of evil; assessing “enemy infiltration” in movies, TV shows, and video games; God’s values and the world’s values; gratitude; choosing friends wisely; and more.

Volunteer Projects
It is essential that students not only learn their Faith, but also put it into action through service to others. Many schools arrange for students in the pre-teen and teen years to participate in volunteer activities, but this can be challenging to implement in a homeschool setting. Volunteer opportunities often require adult supervision and transportation, and there are so many other calls on the parent’s time!

That is why CHC has developed a step-by-step program to guide the homeschooled student in planning and managing his own volunteer activities. Faith in Action provides scheduling suggestions; a variety of ideas for volunteer service projects, including many that the student can complete at home without parental assistance; and step-by-step charts to assist the student in scheduling and managing his projects. Besides encouraging an attitude of service, Faith in Action also develops time-management and accountability skills that are essential for high school.

Note: The course is not intended to replace your child’s catechism lessons but to develop and enrich them.

Lessons are designed to be completed over the course of 22 weeks, 2 days a week. A daily schedule for this program is available in CHC Lesson Plans for Eighth Grade.
