Today at playgroup we had our fourth lesson of the winter, talking about Advent as a season of penance and preparation!  Using playdough and (nearly-appropriately) colored birthday candles, the children made their own small Advent Wreaths to remind themselves to get their hearts "cleaned up" and ready to welcome the infant Jesus.  Click and print the handout below, which also goes along with the Advent Wreath Workshop this coming Sunday.  Enjoy working on the Bible Verse and coloring page with your children this week.  Hope to see you next Tuesday!

Finally, don't forget that next Friday is the Feast of Saint Nick!  Taking time to learn about Saint Nicholas can be a wonderful way to help your children make the connection between Jesus' birthday, opening our hearts to Christ, giving gifts, and sharing sacrificially with those around us.  You can read Saint Nick's bio here.

You can also TAKE your kids to a Saint Nicholas day party at the Lexington parishes of Sacred Heart / Saint Brigid on Saturday morning.  See details below, and be sure to RSVP by December 5th!

Holy Families of Faith of the Lexington Catholic Community invites all families with children ages 6 and under to a celebration in honor of St. Nicholas!

The celebration is Saturday, December 7th, from 9:30-11:30 am at Sacred Heart Parish Center (21 Follen Rd., Lexington). We will have games, activities, stories and songs, treats, and perhaps a visit from the good bishop himself!

RSVP to stnicklexington@gmail.com by December 5th.  Siblings and Grandparents welcome! A suggested donation of $5/child ($15 family cap) is appreciated.  Let’s be glad and full of cheer, good St. Nicholas will soon be here!
