It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We begin pageant rehearsals this weekend, and the Jingle Bells Choir will have their final rehearsal on Sunday. To simplify things a bit, the classes will not meet any earlier than usual. After the first 15 minutes in the service (10:45), they will be led by Carrie West in a short rehearsal in the Bancroft Room before they go their classes. They will be released at the usual time (11:45).
Kids can also pick up their Advent calendar kits this Sunday (we will mail them after Sunday).
This Sunday all of our Spirit Play classes will be sharing in Christmas stories. Our youngest two classes (Orange and Red) will explore "The Miraculously Ordinary Baby," while our older three classes (yellow, green and blue) will explore "Advent."
Teachers in Spirit Play this Sunday are:
Red: Lou (S) and Audrey (D)
Orange: Jody (S) and Jen (D)
Yellow: Katherine (S) and Gina (D)
Green: Amy (S) and Phil (D)
Blue: Gina (S) and Jen (D)
This Sunday our Bibleodeon class will have a lesson on "Christmas" with Marilyn and Alison as teachers. Our Compass Points class will have a lesson called "United by Diversity," led by Mary and Gerri. And I will be the special guest in Coming of Age for a lesson called "Spirituality in Movement," with teacher Richard Laprade and assistant Rhye Gray.
See you on Sunday!
Also, a note from 3rd grade teacher Seth Popinchalk about their class on 11/18:
"Sunday we baked bread. I did make a batch of dough before class, and we pulled a TV style switcheroo so the kids could get the experience of kneading the bread, baking AND mixing the ingredients. We made Naan using this recipe, but I left out the Garlic.

It was a great class, and the kids reported it was the best bread they ever tasted."
Thanks, Seth, for going above and beyond to give the 3rd grade advanced Spirit Play class a great experience.
