Advent Prayer Services

Advent Prayer Service Week 1

On Monday 28th  November we came together to pray as a school community in the spirit of Advent. Advent is a time of waiting. We wait for the birth of Jesus, who came to show us God the Father’s love and to free us from sin, so that we could be with him together forever. We wait for him to be born again in our hearts, our classrooms, our homes, our parish community, and in the whole world. We lit the first purple candle on our Advent wreath. Thank you to the children who read and for the parents that attended our Week 1 Advent Prayer Service.

On Monday 5th December we celebrated the second week of Advent. This week we meet one of the great figures of the season – John the Baptist.  He tells us we must prepare for the coming of Jesus our King by changing our lives and turning our hearts back to God.  He reminds us to prepare for the coming of our Saviour.  We lit the second purple candle on our Advent wreath. Thank you to the Middle room for their beautiful reading and singing and to all the parents who attended.
