                                                for program practice;

Reminders:  
                                   

? of the Day: 12/12:  Please share this with your parents                     
​                        
          - it has been brought to my attention that some people are planning 
                                  on bringing baked goods from Costco, etc. for the Spirit of Christmas 
                                  Bake Sale Wednesday night.  Please let your parents know that we                                                   cannot sell those items, as we cannot ask people to pay prices for items
                                  they can purchase for less than half the price elsewhere.  This bake sale 
                                  is an opportunity to do some Christmas baking with your parent and 
                                  have special time together creating something unique and special that 
                                   brings joy to others, and raises money to help those who are cold,
                                   hungry, 
  and feeling unloved at this time of year.  
                                  Thank you and I look forward t
o seeing, and maybe tasting,
                                   your creativity!!

                         
                           Please review this and focus on the meaning of what it says.  
                                   You will be expected to know these facts about Advent.
​                            "Advent is a time of _
penitence__ and __preparation___.  The focus on
                              Mary shows us how to _receive___ Christ into our hearts and _trust__ Him
                              completely.  The Advent wreath originated in _Germany__ in the
                              Middle Ages.  The ring shape symbolizes God's _eternal_  nature.  Its green 
                              color is a sign of __hope_ and __everlasting_ life.  Each of the _4_ candles on
                              the wreath represent the Sundays of Advent.  The pink candle represents
                              the 3rd Sunday, called _Gaudete_ Sunday. It represents our _hope_ and _joy_
                              for the coming of the __Messiah__.  The 3 __violet__ candles signify __penance__. 
                              Unlike Lent, they represent a sorrowful  longing for _Christ’s presence.
                              Advent is a time for each of us to __reflect__ on our relationship with_God_.
