Happenings in Sunday School this Week

It is hard to believe we are approaching Thanksgiving but indeed it is almost here.  This week in Sunday school we have two important events within our regular program.

•  This is a BRIDGE week!  Our 4th/5th Grade Group will meet during our regular SS hour in the YOUTH ROOM.
• We will be choosing our Christmas Outreach Project. Please join us - we need your input!! A note will go home to parents outlining how it will unfold during the month of December. All ages are invited to participate.

We will take a break on Sunday, November 25th due to  Thanksgiving Holiday. Nursery and Children's Chapel will be available.

Preparing for Advent:
This year we would like to provide opportunity for Advent to be a family event. Advent calendars entitled Slow down. Quiet. It's Advent! are available for your family to reflect and prepare in the upcoming four weeks. It is a wonderful activity driven full sized poster ready for action. Copies are available for you to see this week in the Guild Room.

Upcoming Dates for your Calendar:

• Sunday, December 2nd - First Sunday of Advent- First lighting of the Advent wreath. Our tree will go up in the Parish Hall.
