CHAPEL NOTES~Happy New Year!
The season of Advent is upon us. It is the first season in the Church year, which is why it is time for Happy New
Year greetings. Advent is a period of expectant waiting and preparation, and is a season that last four weeks, leading up to Christmas. For many, the weeks leading up to Christmas include a great deal of preparation: shopping,
cooking, wrapping, and often, more shopping. It is easy to get caught up in the commercialized “get-get-get”
mentality. For children, it is easy to focus on simply what they want to “get.” During this hustle and bustle, Advent has great purpose in giving us time to pause and reflect on the what should be a paramount focus, the joyful
expectation of Christ’s coming!
At All Saints, we strive to focus at this time of year on the opportunities to share and to give of oneself to others.
The prayers our students share in chapel are rarely about themselves. Their sense of compassion and concern for
the community is immense. As we wrap up the U-Can-Share Food Drive next week, our students have heard much
about the gift of giving. We move into Advent ready and excited to share through our grade-level service projects.
There are many ways to celebrate the Advent season at home. Consider incorporating an Advent wreath of candles
at your dinner table. A new candle is lit each Sunday during the four weeks, and then the same candles are lit each
meal during the week. Thank you to all of the families who recently attended the school’s Family Advent Party.
We learned more about Advent and had a great time together!
Again this year, we have a “traveling” nativity set. This set is a treasured gift given to Chaplain Paige, and one
that she is happily enjoying with the school. The nativity figures are separated, and they “journey” to Bethlehem
during the season. For example, Mary and Joseph start at one end of the school and make their way a little closer
each day to the stables (Jones Gym). The shepherd, his flock, as well as the wise men, “journey” at their own
speeds at the appropriate times.
If you have any questions or would like more information on Advent traditions and bringing them into your home,
please just ask. And you are invited to share in the Advent season with us during chapel at All Saints. There is
always room for parents and friends!
Peace Chaplain Paige +
