Classes for the Rest of December
This month we are working on a Jesse Tree for Advent.
Last week, we colored and laminated as many ornaments on the tree as possible.
Sandra is taking the rest home to have ready for our next class.
Remember- next week (December 8th) is an At-Home Lesson. The assigned chapter is Chapter 22. Please review this chapter with your family.
December 15th is our last class before Christmas. We are planning to do our Jesse Tree- parents are invited to stay and watch. We will have snacks and drinks- sort of making it a party.
The Jesse Tree is a wonderful tradition. It consists of a series of ornaments placed on bare branches. Each ornament depicts an event in salvation history- typically 40-50 ornaments. When the ornament is placed on the tree, the story of that ornament is told. This helps place Christ's birth in context. It is not just another holiday, it is the culmination of 4000 years of waiting, watching, and hoping.
Sue told me that she is sending copies of the Jesse Tree home with each family. I have a slightly different version with more kid-friendly ornaments and with a condensed Bible story on the back of each ornament. If you want a copy of this version, e-mail me and I'll bring it in on the 15th for you.
Be sure to come on the 15th. We are hoping that this will be a memorable experience for all of us.

Questions for At-Home Lesson on the Eucharist
As promised, this is the scanned image of the handout from last week's class.
Remember, next week is an AT HOME LESSON. No classes on the parish campus ... that doesn't mean no faith learning!
We have been focusing on Eucharist and The Mass for two weeks. Your at home lesson should compliment that theme. Any way in which you study the Eucharist and The Mass as a family will enrich your faith - I have given you a few "assignments" to guide you:
MOST IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT:
Participate in Mass as a family!
1. Name 3 signs or symbols you will find during Mass - what do they signify?
2. Name 3 ways to prepare for Mass before even entering the church.
3. N~me the two main parts of the Mass
4. What is your explanation of Eucharist?
5. What is the part of the Mass called when Jesus is made present (no longer a symbol, but Jesus)
\6. What does the sign of the cross represent?
7. How many readings do we hear and where does each come from?
8. Name 3 ways you can PARTICIPATE in the Mass.
9. Describe some ways you can prepare to come forward during communion - how can you "ready" yourself to receive Jesus in the Eucharist?
10. Name 3 ways you can "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord" when Mass is over .
We will see you back on campus November 16th!
