Advent Begins


This morning, all of the children gathered in the hall for the weekly prayer service. Today's service was extra special because the first candle on the Advent Wreath was lit. One child from each family selected an ornament from the Giving Tree. On each ornament is the name of an item that the child's family is requested to purchase (ex. coloring book, gloves, diapers). The items will be distributed to local families in need. The children should bring their unwrapped items in to school on either 12/11 or 12/18 and they will be placed under the tree during the weekly prayer service. Thank you for your kindness!
