Second Week of Advent - The Bethlehem Candle - Faith
The second Sunday of Advent gives us the opportunity to prepare our hearts in faithful waiting, celebrate the birth of Jesus and ready ourselves for his second coming.
It's a beautiful chance to reflect on the ways prophecy has been fulfilled and to ponder what the future (promised to us through prophecies) will bring.
This week, we pause to remember who God is and what He has done for us. When our lives are hurried, we only have the chance to focus on our to-do lists. Making space in our schedules for prayer and meditation helps us to better see God at work in our lives and in our world.
As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ arrival as a gift to all humanity, let’s stir up in our hearts and homes a sense of anticipation. May God’s spirit transform the days leading up to Christmas into a time of holy anticipation; preparing our hearts, as we faithfully await the chance to celebrate the arrival of our king.
CANDY GRAMS - DEC 6-10
The Candy Grams will be delivered to their recipients in the school during the week of Dec 13th. If your child wants to purchase a Candy Gram, the cost is $0.25 each candy gram and they should bring their money to school between Dec 6 and 9th.
We thank you for your support of this social justice fundraising activity that supports so many worthy and needy causes.
