Benchmarks for Christians

July 8, 2019 By Sharon Ely Pearson Leave a Comment

From time to time the Forma Facebook Group has a post from someone (clergy, youth minister, Christian educator) who is asking if anyone has a “rubric” for what children should learn in each year of “Sunday School” (or whatever you call it).

Candlemas: History, Traditions…And Crepes!

February 2, 2019 By Sharon Ely Pearson Leave a Comment

On February 2, exactly 40 days after Christmas, we commemorate Mary’s adherence to the Mosaic law as she entered the Temple for the ritual purification, as explained in Leviticus 12:2-8. Also, forty days was the time when a firstborn was brought to the Temple to be dedicated to the Lord (Exodus 13:2-12).
