This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. We talked about the seasons of the Church and how during ordinary time we have a green cloth on our prayer table. During Advent we put on a purple cloth because purple is a a colour associated with royalty and Jesus is our King!
Today your child is bringing home an Advent wreath and prayers that you can share as a family during Advent. The wreaths have candles but they don't all have wicks so they aren't really meant to be lit. It is incredibly hard to find purple birthday candles (not sure why that is) so we had to cut the ones we had in half.
Also coming home is an Advent calendar that your child can colour and then place an angel sticker on for each day in December.
Also during Advent we will be sending home an Advent bag with a book, journal and activity for you to share with your family. It is yours for one night only, please send it back the next day so another child can take it home.
Thank you.
