Advent

Advent means ‘coming’ and is the special four-week period leading up to Christmas. It is a time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’s birth but also for his coming in glory at the end of time.

Prayer

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).

Advent

It is easy to care for those we know and love. But loving our neighbour means looking out for all, whoever they may be! This often calls us to look out for those who are vulnerable and in most need, serving our whole communities, and challenging injustice where it arises.

By “Serving together” we “strengthen our communities.”

During Advent, we have uploaded lots of resources for our school families to use as part of Taith Adfent, including simple worships around the theme of social justice.

These are great resources which encourage children to think about ‘fairness’ and ends with a prayer….


Heavenly Father,
You taught us to seek justice by speaking up for and defending others who may not be able to help themselves.
Give us the courage to speak out when we see that something is not fair and the wisdom to know how to take action.
Amen
