I know – it’s not even Thanksgiving yet and we’re talking about Advent and Christmas. But in our defense, we are preparing for Advent and Christmas, so we must start early. If the St. Nicholas Tree doesn’t go up now, the gifts for needy families wouldn’t be delivered in time. If we didn’t rehearse the Advent play … well, you get that. So, thank you for your understanding. Think of it as extra preparation in anticipation of the Christ child.
Here is the youth news for the week:
