Epiphany: Bring our gifts to the crib

Follow Me

Today we listened to our Gospel and the wise men bringing Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. We talked about what gifts we could give to Jesus and at the offertory we followed a star to place our gifts at the crib. The children talked about being kind and helpful, listening to others, sharing love and bringing peace and happiness.

Come to Me 

Pre school children and parents meet for a special liturgy for pre school children. We sing and do simple actions to gather together, learn the sign of the cross, say sorry, Gloria and Alleluia and then we listen to the Gospel.  Today we made crowns to be like the kings and the children made their presents.
