Serving Christ
This week, we looked ahead to the 4th Sunday of Advent - we lit the last purple candle and heard that Mary replied to the Angel Gabriel, "I am the handmaid of the Lord." We remembered that to be a Christian is to be at the service of others in the name of Christ. Where Mary leads, we are called to follow, making personal sacrifices to enable God's Kingdom to be seen on earth.
There are a multitude of ways that children can actively serve the school community. Having roles, responsibilities, monitors and routines can really support this culture of service, as well as important school functions, like the PFSA Christmas Market and Nativities plays. We have been so proud and impressed by the children's readiness to serve this Advent season.
