Pflaum offers three online Early Start Lessons for programs that begin before the Gospel Weeklies program lessons start on Sunday, September 21. Lessons are available for Seeds / Semillas, Promise / Promesa, Good News / Buena Nueva, Venture / Aventura, and Visions / Visiones. These lessons are not tied to a particular Gospel Reading, so you may choose the lessons you prefer, and they may be taught in any order.
The editors have also selected short videos to support your teaching of these lessons:
