DECEMBER ADVENT FAMILY PRAYER FIRST FRIDAY of the Month December 5th The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all day in Church with adoration at 7:30pm. Come and spend some time with Jesus. Lord, help us to prepare our hearts for the coming of your son Jesus. Help us to focus on your light during this holy season. Draw our family closer together as we move through Advent toward the feast of your Son’s birth. Each week we light a new candle on our Advent Wreath. We place our HOPE in you. We pray for PEACE in our hearts, our homes and in the world. We wait with JOY for your coming anew into our hearts. And we thank you for your everlasting LOVE this Christmas. The evergreens on the wreath remind us that your life in us never dies. Its circular shape shows us your love has no beginning or end. The light from its candles will grow brighter each week as Christmas draws near. Draw our family closer to you in holiness as we reflect in wonder and awe on the birth of your Son in a lowly manger in Bethlehem. And may your Spirit grow in us, dispelling the darkness and sin of the world. CHRISTMAS CONCERT Friday December 12th at 8pm Performances by all of our choirs. Tickets available at the office $5 each.
