 Advent Program - Thursday, December 17, 2009

Our annual Advent program is coming up on December 17th.

This year we are trying out a new format. There will be plenty of congregation participation! The final program will be posted soon so you can brush up on your carols! We are hoping that December will see all St. John families singing carols heartily on their way to school in the morning! Singing aside we are asking each student to bring in a foil covered empty toilet roll or half kitchen towel roll. These can be further decorated with Christmas themes if you wish. Ribbons, stickers, tinsel, baubles,....your imagination is the limit. These will serve as battery operated tea light holders. The holders will be hand held by the students as they process into the church, please bear this in mind if you are decorating them. The holders are due in the office or to your classroom teacher by Tuesday December 1st. Anyone who is inspired to make more than one would be greatly appreciated!

 As we are trying a different format for the Advent program this year we need your help!

Please print the attached set of words to the Christmas carols we will sing at the service on Thursday December 12th. Staple them together and sing along with your child as often as possible in the next two weeks to help your child become familiar with the words.

The congregation will have a program with a copy of the words but the children will not, so there is a lot to commit to memory.
Please help to make this performance a success.

Many thanks,
Sabine Hirsohn
