Grade 1 - Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States

Sunday School Curriculum Grade 1
The servant should take the chance to teach those who do not know the Lord’s prayer and
help them to memorize it.
Who taught us the Lord’s prayer? Jesus Christ Himself told us the Lord’s prayer in the gospel
of St. Matthew. He told the people and His disciples that when you pray, you go to your room
or a quiet place and you say the Lord’s prayer every time you pray.
With what sign we start and end our prayer?
Can we skip a day without prayer?
What are we supposed to pray for?
What do we say and the end of each prayer?
Who taught us the Lord’s prayer?
In which gospel did Jesus Christ teach us the Lord’s prayer?
Conclusion:
We have to pray every day. We have to know that we are standing in front of God when we pray
so, we pray with respect. We can ask God for all the things that we need and thank Him for all the
things that He had given us.
Applications:
Give the children a picture of Jesus Christ praying e.g. in Gethemane or a picture of any of
the saints praying.
Encourage the children to pray for the needs of the church, their families and for their private
needs.
Continue memorizing the last third of the Lord’ s prayer. The servant should review what was
memorized before with the students.
The students who do not know the Lord’s prayer, ask their parents to work with them at home
to memorize it. Review it with them the following week.
