Middle School Religion: Journeying with Christ

Peace be with you.
I am Mrs. Gehret, I hope from reading this page you can find out more about our Middle School Religion classes and more about me. I'm excited to start my eighth year of teaching! I graduated from Marian University in 2015 with a degree in Religious Education. I have a passion for teaching the beauty of our faith to the youth and to help them along their journey of growing closer to Jesus and building long-lasting, healthy relationships.

In our class we:
-Treat others as Christ would, in our words, actions, and deeds.
-Grow closer to others, especially, Jesus, but also our classmates, teachers, and family
-Always give it our best
-Listen to others

All Middle School Religion Classes

All middle school students complete acts of service throughout the school year to answer our Gospel call to serve those in need.
- "Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."
  -Matthew 25: 40
Every day students in class lead prayer to grow closer to God and to get in the habit of thanking God for our many gifts and praying for those in need.
- Our prayer formula: DTA
  - Describe- describe God in some way
  - Thank- thank God for some blessing in your life
  - Ask- ask God for help for yourself or others

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3: 5-6
