OCIA Kids Version Session 1: Welcome & Journeys – What is OCIA? Why Does Faith Matter?

✨ Your Journey With God ✨

❤️ The Greatest Adventure of Your Life

Welcome Back!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m REALLY excited you’re here today because we’re talking about something SUPER important:

🌟 Your journey through life

and why God matters.

🚗 Life Is Like a Road Trip

Have you ever gone on a road trip with your family?

Maybe you:

  • packed snacks 🍿

  • listened to music 🎵

  • got bored halfway there 😄

  • or asked:

“Are we there yet?”

about a hundred times 😂

Life is kind of like that.

🌎 Life is a journey.

Sometimes it’s:

  • exciting 🎉

  • confusing 🤔

  • or unexpected 😬

But here’s the BEST part:

❤️ God never wants you to travel alone.

✨ What Is Faith?

Faith means:

❤️ Trusting that God is with you.

Even when life feels:

  • hard 😔

  • confusing 🤔

  • or scary 😟

God is:

  • helping you 💪

  • guiding you 🧭

  • and loving you ❤️

🌈 You Don’t Have to Be Perfect

Here’s something REALLY important:

✨ You do NOT have to be perfect for God to love you.

You do NOT need to:

  • know every prayer 🙏

  • know every Bible story 📖

  • or understand every church rule ⛪

God simply wants:

❤️ Your heart.

🌟 What Really Matters?

A lot of kids today think life is all about:

  • getting more stuff 🎮

  • becoming popular 😎

  • or getting lots of likes online 📱

But Jesus taught something VERY different.

He showed us the most important things are:

  • love ❤️

  • kindness 😊

  • forgiveness 🤝

  • courage 💪

  • friendship 👯

  • and helping others 🌎

📱 Staying Connected to God

Think about your phone for a second.

What happens when:

  • there’s no signal 📵

  • or no Wi-Fi?

Eventually it feels:

😩 Disconnected.

Faith is kind of like:

📶 Your connection to God.

Prayer,
church,
and loving others help keep your connection strong.

⛪ Church Is Like a Family

Church is NOT just a building you visit once a week.

It’s more like:

❤️ A giant family.

Some people:

  • sing really well 🎵

  • some don’t 😄

  • some know every prayer 🙏

  • some are still learning 📖

Sometimes:

  • babies cry 👶

  • people sit in the wrong pew 😂

  • or the music sounds funny 🎹

But that’s okay.

Because:

✨ God still shows up.

🙏 Go to Mass With an Open Heart

One of the BEST things you can do is go to Mass with an open heart.

Listen carefully.
Look around.

Those people are:

❤️ Your brothers and sisters in Christ.

You are part of:

🌎 Something MUCH bigger than yourself.

❤️ Jesus Knows YOU

Here’s something AMAZING:

✨ Jesus knows your name.

Out of every person in the whole world…

❤️ He knows YOU.

He knows:

  • your fears 😟

  • your dreams 🌟

  • your struggles 😔

  • and the things that make you happy 😊

And He wants to help you become:

✨ The best version of yourself.

⭐ Your Challenge This Week

Try these 3 simple things:

1️⃣ Say One Honest Prayer

Even:

🙏 “Jesus, help me today.”

is enough.

2️⃣ Do One Act of Kindness

Help someone without expecting anything back.

3️⃣ Pay Attention at Church

Remember:

❤️ God is there with you.

❤️ Always Remember This

Your journey with God is:

🌟 Just beginning.

And trust me…

✨ It’s the greatest adventure you will ever go on.
