Grades 8:  Visions At-home Gospel Weeklies Program

The Gospel Weeklies Visions program is designed for pre-teens and teens in that it emphasizes social justice, moral reasoning, and service through current-interest articles, life-dilemma stories, and real Christian life examples. Discussion starters help young teens explore links between today’s issues, the Sunday readings, and their own lives.

Child Development Levels:

• Emotional and social development
• Maturing physically
• New thinking capacity
• Wanting to belong to groups and make lasting relationships

Visions lead junior and senior high students to stretch their developing abstract thinking skills and to apply them to going beyond the literal level of the Scripture stories.
