Countdown to the end of the Year and Planning a party.

It might seem a bit early, but there are only 4 more weeks before the end of the Church year and the Year of Faith.  Today, we welcomed new children to Children's Liturgy and they were shown where we are in the Church Year.  We also talked about how we would welcome Jesus to our home and wondered what Jesus might have said to Zacchaeus when he went to tea at his house.
Children showing we are celebrating the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time
We now have space in our new room, so if any of the children would like to bring a picture linked to the Gospel or to show how they are following Jesus we'd like to add them to our display.

Welcome Jesus
At St Thomas More's they made a welcome sign and drew pictures of the party they would have if Jesus came to their home.

Welcome Jesus
