This past Sunday marked the first Sunday of Advent.
We have been learning about the liturgical calendar. Can your child point out Advent?
Advent is a time of hope and anticipation. We are waiting for the birth of Christ!
We changed our prayer table cloth from green, when it was Ordinary Time, to purple for Advent. Can you see our wreath? We light one candle for each of the four Sundays in Advent. This week we lit the first candle. As we light more candles each week, our world becomes brighter, symbolizing our growing anticipation of Jesus, who is the light of our world.
Each week, we celebrate with a school-wide assembly. At our daily Connection Time, we begin each day with a cozy little Advent celebration.
Our Shepherd, who has been visiting us every day throughout Advent, is helping us search for Jesus! Look at his visits so far ...
As we journey towards Christmas, may we prepare our hearts with kindness as we joyfully wait for the coming of Jesus!
