A /

Advent—a celebration of the three comings of Christ:

1. History – Birth of Jesus 2007 years ago.
2. Present – Mystery-
   1. In our families, in our church, in our teachers, etc.
   2. In Sacraments through the Holy Spirit: Eucharist, Reconciliation, Baptism, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony and Holy Orders
3. Future—Majesty- The second coming at the end of time as a King

(referenced in the Book of Revelations)

Jesus’ comings in history, mystery, and majesty!

Christmas

1. Time to remember: Jesus is the promised Savior, He is the Light of the World!

We remember Jesus in the Christmas candles and Christmas lights.

2. Time to believe:  Jesus is the third person in the Trinity and he is God’s Son!
3. Time to celebrate: Holy Birthday Party!

We watched part of the movie “Mary of Nazareth.”  I think it gave a visual idea of what it really was like for Joseph and Mary. I narrated the movie as it progressed so that the students could put the events from the bible into context.

We stopped just as Joseph was searching for a place to stay in Bethlehem…

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE BIRTH OF CHRIST!
