Fantastic Faith Dec. 12
3rd Sunday in Advent
Dear Parents,
Today your child listened to a simplified version of John 1:19-28.
Symbol: Scalloped shell
To reinforce at home: Today we discussed staying on the path to Jesus' coming. We talked about John the Baptist and how he told people about the coming of Jesus. The scallop shell symbolizes two things: the Sacrament of Baptism and John the Baptist. Today we explored the relationship of John the Baptist and Jesus. John the Baptist helps us remember that Jesus is coming.
We also noticed that Advent is almost over. Jesus is almost here! This is the joyful Sunday in Advent marked by the pink candle in your Advent wreath.
We discussed again the things we need to do to keep trying to stay close to God during this Advent season.
Activities to do at home:
*Jesus is coming! Choose a quiet prayer time together each day to ask God to show you what your job is for that day.
*Share Jesus' love: With your child think of a person who might be lonely and go together to do something for that person. You could run some small errands, or perhaps just drop in to share some cookies.
