one topic of the “The Lord’s Prayer”.
After will introduce a box of prayer and ask for one child to volunteer
himself/herself to read the prayer for the class. Please ask the child to
say his/her words as well, as to complement the opening prayer.
Second: Welcome the children into the session. Say how happy we are to
see them there and how important they are for the class. Play hot potato
game with the children. When the music stops the child who is holding
the hot potato ball will be asked to answer what they say while praying to
God or Jesus.

Designate a place, time and day of the week to have the
Study of the Gospel at Home. The recommended time
for such meetings is around 20/30 minutes.
Prepare a glass of water for each member of the family.
We should also invite our family to study and exchange
ideas together
We start the ‘Gospel at Home’ practice with a heartfelt
prayer such as The Lord’s Prayer or another simple and
spontaneous one. After that, read a passage from The
Gospel according to Spiritism which was chosen
previously or opened randomly.
After this passage is read, discuss it and explore the
different points of view. Try to understand the
teachings by applying it specifically to your own live.
Let’s aim to avoid discussions or accusations amongst our
family relatives.

Seventh: Life theatre - The kids will act using the same objects used in
the story (the 5 steps) in order to show how we do the Gospel in the
Home. The volunteer can ask the following questions:
Why it’s important to do the gospel at home?
The practice of the Gospel at home creates the beneficial of evangelical
study within the home itself.
What’s the benefit for our family when we do the gospel at home?
The main benefit for our family is to awake and strength the feelings of
fellowship in the family and also among our whole friends. It’s also a
spiritual time which benefits enormously the ones who take part of it,
enabling an environment of peace and tranquillity for the family.
The next step is the “Vibrations". This is the time when
we send good thoughts to others. We can send good
vibrations to our relatives, to our friends, to ill people
and others we think need good thoughts. We can also
send good vibrations so that people don’t find, don’t
mistreat children and animals. We can also send good
vibrations for people to have a job and good health. We
then ask the water to be magnetized. We finish our
‘Gospel at Home’ Practice with a short spontaneous
prayer.
Share and Drink the fluidized water
4. Where should we do the gospel at home?
Anywhere in our house.
How often should we do the gospel at home?
Once a week, at least.
Should we pray for our family and friends?
We should help each other said Jesus; therefore during our Gospel at
home we can send good thoughts to others. We can send good
vibrations to our relatives, to our friends, to ill people and others we think
need good thoughts.
How long should it take?
The recommended time for such meetings is around 20/30 minutes.
What book should we read during the Gospel at home?
We start the ‘Gospel at Home’ practice with a heartfelt prayer such as

Yes, we should explore the different points of view of each one of us in
our family. We also should try to understand the teachings by applying it
specifically to your own live and in our family; the present of God for all of
us. Let’s aim to avoid discussions or accusations amongst our family
