The Great Commandment/The Golden Rule rotation runs April 14 – May 19.  The children will memorize and understand the Great Commandment and the Golden Rule.  The children should also be able to relate these to daily living, and to use them in their own lives.  God connects us to all people; everyone is our neighbor because God loves us all!

The Great Commandment:  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind… Love your neighbor as you love yourself.

The Golden Rule: Do for others what you want them to do for you.

The memory verse is:  Leviticus 19:18   Do not take revenge on anyone or continue to hate him, but love your neighbor as you love yourself.
