THEME INTRO
Grab your backpack
Today, I packed food in my wilderness backpack. We need food to give us energy in the wilderness. Show bread and grapes. Who can tell me which sacrament bread and grapes reminds you of? The Eucharist. At Mass, the bread and the wine (made from grapes) becomes the body and blood of Jesus.
We are going to have an amazing day exploring the sacrament of the Eucharist and how we can have an “attitude of gratitude” for this amazing gift.
Our Bible Verse comes from words that Jesus said in the Gospel of John. “I am the living bread that came down from Heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever...” John 6:51
