This lesson aligns with the standards for understanding religious teachings, character education, and promoting social skills through the exploration of the Fruit of the Spirit.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |

| 2 | Bible Passage Reading | 5 | Read Galatians 5:22-23 together, ensuring each student understands the terminology. |
