Second Advent Sunday

We celebrated the second Sunday of Advent today.  We read Luke 1:1-56 about Zacharias and Elizabeth being of old age and bearing a son, whom the angel told them to call 'John'.  An angel also spoke to Mary about her conceiving a Son as well, Jesus, the Messiah.  Then Mary visits Elizabeth. 

Our craft tonight was a snowflake ornament.  It contained a little story called The Legend of the Snowflake:

Long ago, a gleaming star

led the way to a Child born in a Manger.

Today it is believed

that Snowflakes are little pieces of

that special Star that leads us

to the Light of the World, Jesus.
