The first Sunday of Advent is this Sunday. We are beginning to discus
the importance of preparing our hearts and minds for
Christmas. On Thursday, your child brought home an Advent Chain to help
count down the days so I would encourage you to help your child
take a chain off each day and follow the message inside. We often
become very busy thinking about decorating, shopping and presents...it
would be wonderful to take time thinking about the true reason for the
season and spending our time in prayer and finding ways to give gifts to
Jesus...both in our words and in actions.
No Sunday Gospel - sorry, I forgot to send it home this weekend.
