Advent: Week One

Keep us alert, we pray, O Lord our God, 

as we await the advent of Christ your Son,

so that when he comes and knocks

he may find us watchful in prayer and exultant in his praise.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Today we started our celebration of the first week of Advent. Congratulation to 9 of our grade 2/3 students for reading today during our Advent Liturgy in the gym. 

I have included some new videos on the blog under the 'video' section. The videos are as follows; The Nativity Story, The Lord's Prayer (song),  What is Advent (slideshow), Peace Like a River (song), and Soon (song). We watched these videos today after the Advent Liturgy and the students were very interested and asked that I post them on our blog. I hope you and your family will enjoy watching, singing, and discussing the events of the Christmas season. 

Here is a link to the living with Christ children's missal for Sunday December 9th if you wish to discuss the readings and stories for next Sunday's mass. http://www.livingwithchrist.ca//missal.php
