Pre-School thru 2nd grade Children’s Liturgy / 11AM Mass
Today in Children’s Liturgy of the Word we asked the question: “What did Joseph do and can we do as Joseph did?” An angel appears again in today’s Gospel passage with a mes-sage. On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we heard the angel talking directly to Mary about God’s plan. This time, the angel shares God’s plan with Joseph in a dream. The angel’s message was to remind Jo-seph of the promise God made to the people of Israel a long time ago. God promised that a young woman would have a very special child. Through this child, God would be with His people. Many people trusted that God would make the promise come true and they waited. The angel told Joseph in his dream that God’s promise had come true and that his fiancée, Mary is that young woman who is going to have that special child. The angel reassures Joseph that it is okay to get married and even tells Joseph what to name the baby, which is Jesus, a name that means “God saves.” Joseph trusted God. He didn’t hesitate to follow the angel’s instruction. We too can be like Joseph when we hear the words of God’s message for us, we can trust that they are true and do what God asks us to do.
The Family Christmas Dinner is this Wednesday, December 21st at 6:15pm. The Religious Education children have prepared a short program for this night. This is a special time for all of us to share a meal together and celebrate the coming of Jesus at Christmas!
There will be NO Children's Liturgy of the Word on Decem-ber 25th and January 1st. Children's Liturgy of the Word will start up again on Sunday, January 8, 2017.
There will be NO Religious Education Classes on Decem-ber 28th. Religious Education Classes will resume on Wednesday, January 4, 2017.
I pray that God blesses you all with a wonderful week as we await the coming of our Savior. Theresa Steffes-Director of Religious Education 677.5065 / [email protected]

A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar: December 18, 2016: Fourth Sunday of Advent The child born to Jesus and Mary was named Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.” Every child is EMMANUEL, reminding us “God is with us.” Children are signs of God’s continuing presence in our lives.
