We had a great time at our "People of Faith: Generations Learning Together" session on Advent! We learned what Advent is, how to keep Advent separate from Christmas, and how to pray throughout Advent. To help us pray during the season, we made placemats with prayers for each week of Advent, and we made beautiful Advent wreaths. We shared faith, fellowship, food, and fun!
Comments from some of the participants:
"Brought back my focus of what this season is all about. It was fun!"
"learned more about Advent, to be able to share with our children."
"memories with my daughter, my neighbors and my church family. We need to spread the word about how much fun this was."
"Wish more parishioners would have attended."
Watch for our next event, which will focus on Lent, coming up in February. Registrations will be out in early January.
ATTENTION CONFIRMATION FAMILIES:
Confirmation has been scheduled for Thursday, April 16, at 7:00 pm, at St. Andrew's in Elk River. Once again, we will be celebrating in conjunction with several other area parishes.
