December 8, 2023

Hark the glad sound,

The Savior comes,

The Savior promised long,

Let every hear prepare a throne

And every voice a song!

We are learning that Advent is a time to wait, prepare, rejoice and tell. I hope you carve some time out to do the special Advent devotions with your family. Help prepare your hearts for Jesus this Advent. In school we lit the advent candles, have a special devotion, put up a special ornament on the tree, and sing Advent songs.

1st/2nd Grade Advent Service

We are working on our Advent Service. We continue to practice our special Bible verse part and songs.

-Our Advent services will be Wednesday, December 14th in the Zion Sanctuary.

-The students will be leading the Advent chapel during school at 10 am and they will need to wear their normal standardized dress.

-Students will also be leading the church service at the 7 pm service that evening. Please have your child arrive at 6:45 p.m. in the church basement. Teachers will not be in the church basement until this time, so please stay with your child until a teacher arrives. Students will need to be wearing standardized dress or church clothes. Please keep your child's coat and belongings with you because after the service you will be meeting your child in the narthex/welcome center area near the sanctuary.

-Your child will need to be in attendance at both services; parents and family are welcome to come to either service.

We will move to the front of the church to do our speaking part and song. I want you to know that it is harder to see the kids when you are in the front/side pews.

I put a new WORD WORK HOME paper in each Friday Folder.

If your child needs help with the spelling/word work this can help to guide your home practice. Look in the blog to see what we are working on in school.

COMING SOON:

Advent is such a fun time. I really enjoy preparing for Jesus coming with my first graders. Ask your child about some of the special things in our classroom!

In HIS Peace,

Amy
