Advent Liturgy

This morning our class along with the grade 3 class led the 2nd week of Advent Liturgy! We have been preparing all week for this liturgy. Our classes did a wonderful job of singing our 3 songs and doing all of the readings. We were so proud of their great work!! A special thank you to the parents who were able to join us this morning. It was so wonderful that you could attend today!

During the liturgy, we talked about the theme of peace. Our 2 classes wondered about this theme and created a video to share what peace meant to us as we wait and prepare for the birth of Jesus at Christmas. We showed the video to the school today and then had a discussion as a school how we can prepare our hearts during the Advent season. 

In addition to the movie we created as a class, we watched a special video that talks about the story of Advent through a social media perspective. It ties in perfectly with our school board's focus on being safe, responsible and kind digital citizens.  What would the story of Advent look like if it happened in modern time? Here is a link to this beautiful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sghwe4TYY18&feature=youtu.be
