December 9, 2022

This week we learned that an angel told Mary and Joseph that they would have a special baby and they should name him

JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".

The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be

EMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"

Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US and to SAVE US!

ADVENT SERVICE WEDNESDAY:

-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.

I really enjoy preparing for Christmas with the kids, this second week of Advent. I look forward to next week, the third week of Advent and the JOY it will bring!

Enjoy the pictures from this week and spend time worship our Savior who comes to bring JOY!

In HIM,

Amy

I have the best job at Christmas. Seeing the excitement of the kids with the birth of Jesus warms my heart and makes me smile.
