Hello Faith Formation Families!
There's a lot going on this weekend! We'll have Faith Formation classes in the classrooms (Pre/K: Music; 1st: 107; 2nd: 108; 3rd-4th-5th: Conf A&B).
There's also Children's Liturgy of the Word at 11:00 Mass with Mrs. Carbary, Coffee & Donuts after both Sunday Masses (and the parish staff will be at 9:30 Coffee & Donuts so you can meet them!), and it's Food Collection Sunday!
Plus, 26 of our Blessed Sacrament friends will be celebrating their First Reconciliation this Saturday! Please pray for them!
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
Join Mrs. Carbary at 11:00 Mass on December 4 for Children's Liturgy of the Word!
"SAINTS ALIVE!" CARD GAME
If you were absent during one of our classes, you can still earn the cards given out that day! Just follow the directions for earning saint cards on your "How to earn more cards" handout! For a running list of cards that have been given out, scroll to the bottom of this Flocknote!
EARNING MORE GAME CARDS
You have lots of opportunities to earn cards this weekend!
1. Food Collection Sunday: Bring your donations to Mass with you to help Midland families in need.
2. Children's Liturgy of the Word: Join Mrs. Carbary during 11:00 Mass to learn about this week's gospel. Older kids can listen carefully to the readings and homily and write a few sentences about how they'll apply the gospel to their lives this week.
3. Coffee and Donuts: Meet someone new at Coffee and Donuts! Parish staff will be at 9:30 Coffee and Donuts if you would like to meet the people behind the scenes here at Blessed Sacrament.
4. Build an Advent wreath: Even if you didn't build an Advent wreath at our Advent event two weeks ago, you can still earn this card by building and using an Advent wreath at home. (And if you did make an Advent wreath here, but you didn't pick up a card, pick it up now!)
GINGERBREAD HOUSE CONTEST
With our "We're Home" theme this year, how could we NOT have a Gingerbread House Contest? Mark your calendars for our next Family Fun Event on December 14!!! Click the link for details and to sign up! Please sign up by December 9 so we know how many people to plan for!
TALENTED PEOPLE NEEDED!
The Faith Formation Team is planning a talent show for February 10... but we can't do it without talented people like you! Music, singing, magic, dance, martial arts, poetry, famous speeches, skits... whatever your talent is, we want to see it! Let us know if you'd like to participate!
See you soon!
Peace & Joy,
Corinne
