                                                     Hark the glad sound

The Savior comes

The Savior promised long

Let every heart prepare a throne 

And every voice a song!

I know this Advent is different.  I hope you carve some time out  to have special Advent devotions with your family.   Help prepare your hearts for Jesus this Advent.  In school we lit the advent wreath, have a special devotion, put up a special ornament on the tree, and sing Advent songs.  I still have Advent devotions if you would like one let me know.

We celebrated St. Nicholas Day a little early. (it is really December 6)

We read a book, we put out our shoes, and we got a traditional treat of an orange, a 'gold coin' and symbols of Jesus.

Has your child told you about Jake, our Christmas Monkey?

He gives us challenges each day this Advent as we wait, prepare, rejoice and tell others about Jesus.
