December 5th CLW Lesson

A reading from the Gospel according to Lk 3:1-6: John the Baptist went through the whole country telling God’s people very important news.
He said, “Now is the time to get ready. Get ready!  Dig down way inside your hearts by asking God to forgive you. Try living good lives. Jesus is coming to teach you about God’s love.”

This is the gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Gospel review questions:
1. Which candle do we light on the Advent Wreath for the second week of Advent? (Purple for Peace)
2. Who told God’s people how to get ready for Jesus? (John the Baptist)
3. What does John the Baptist tell the people to do? (He tells them to ask for forgiveness and get their hearts ready)
4. What can you do to get ready for Jesus’ birthday? (Pray, attend mass, continue J.A.M., help our family and friends, share, be kind to everyone)

Challenge this week:
Continue the Advent coloring activity sent home on November 21st at home. Color the PEACE candle purple. Continue with Jesus and Me (JAM) by offering Jesus time, talent, and treasure!  One way kids can do this is the Christmas Service Project: Bring baked goods on 12/10 for the Jesse Tree party!

(In-person CLW students are participating in an ongoing challenge where they will receive Jesus and Me envelopes to record how they shared their time, talent, and treasure with Jesus! Each week they will bring back the old envelope and receive a new one at the CLW table in the Narthex.  During CLW class, we will talk about all the wonderful ways that the children have been using their gifts to help others.)
