Preparation:
Children must be allocated a group to assist in the preparation of
different aspects for the liturgy, these include:
- Making of the Wreath
- Collection of Violet Cloth and candles
- Re-enactment of the gospel (Students narrators, reading of the
gospel, Student Actors, act out the events of the gospel)
- Selection of 2 Hymns (Gathering and Recessional), inclusive of
learning/teaching the hymns to the students
- Prayers of the faithful, can be written in pairs during class time,
not every students prayer will have the opportunity to be used
during the liturgy - students are given the opportunity to reflect on
the overall message of advent (hope) through writing these prayers.
We Gather
Welcome
During this first week of advent
we recognise hope as people are
reconnecting with their
anticipation and preparation for
the coming of our Lord, hoping to
connect with God through the
Holy Spirit.
