November Take Out Magazine Highlights
Check out pages 4 and 5 for a reflecton on why gratitude is good for you. Conversations with our children about loved ones who have died can difficult. Page 6 has a great article about the hard conversations. I love the idea of a “Gratitude Walk.”
Our next LIFT session will be on the weekend of December 2nd and 3rd. You don’t want to miss our interactive play called “Keepsake Christmas!” If you need to change a session time, contact Donna at 609-268-7742 or [email protected]
Keepsake Christmas Join us as we meet Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus and the Angel in an interactive play where the families create their own nativity to bring home. Contact Donna if you are interested in acting, set design, sound or just being a part of the team!
Jingle Jam Jingle Jam “The Big Give” is back this Christmas at the 3pm and 5pm masses on Christmas Eve. Jingle Jam is a great way for children to experience the joy of the Christmas story through song, dance and storytelling. Children will depart from the main worship space at the beginning of mass and proceed to Hoffman Hall. They will return after the homily. Consider using your time, your resources and your talents to reach children in our community. Look for opportunities to sign up to help this and fun important ministry.
