December – Advent and Christmas

Dear God,

We want to make a smooth path to you. Help us to get ready to hear what Jesus wants to tell us.   Amen.

Throughout the four weeks of advent, worship services begin with the lighting of the Advent candles and bringing animals to the Nativity scene creche. We invite all children to process with children’s formation leaders at the beginning of the 10:30 service to bring forward animals to place in the creche and to help light the Advent candles.

If you or your child would like to join, gather with Mrs. Drew, Mrs. Skoracki, and Mr. McCoy by the Giving Tree in front of the Chapel as soon as you arrive to church.

After the lighting we will proceed to the Children’s Formation area where we will talk about the symbols and themes of advent. Here are some Advent coloring pages for you to use at home.

Also, be sure to check out our Jesse Tree located in the Formation Resource area in the parish hall! Here are some activity pages for you to make your own Jesse Tree ornaments at home.

November

The Feast of Christ the King – Nov. 24

Sunday, November 24 is the last Sunday of the church year and we know it as the Feast of Christ the King. We will explore the Kingdom of God and some of the qualities that makes Jesus Christ our King.

Thank you, God, for the kingdom you have prepared for us and for Jesus who shows us the way. Amen.

Thankful – Nov. 10 & 17

On November 10, 17, we will talk about the gifts we are thankful for and ways we take care of and share them with the world.

October – Be the Light of the World

The saints are “the lights of the world in every generation,” people whose lives and deeds have shone brightly and helped others more closely follow God. There are saints who lived long ago and there are saints living and working in the world today, saints who are known by the church and saints who are known only to God. We say that the church—we—are part of the Communion of Saints, the company of all faithful people, connected through our baptism to those Christians who have died, those who are alive now, and those who haven’t yet been born. The word “saint” means holy.

This month we will gather on October  13, 20, and 27 as we talk about what it means to be called a Saint and where we fit in the Communion of Saints.
