All 6-7-8th grade students and their parents are invited to participate in the Advent series Joyful. The first session, "She Said Yes" will be on Sunday, November 27th from 6:00-7:30 PM at St. Mary's School. More information on the program is provided below: ABOUT THIS FAMILY SERIES Who is Mary? What was it like for her to hear that she was going to be the Mother of God? What did she do for nine months while she prepared for Jesus’ birth? What would it have been like to hold God in her arms and a little newborn baby? What do all these events have to do with our lives? Joyful is a Family Series all about Mary and the events leading up to Christmas. It is a four night series that walks middle school youth and their parents through the events of the Annunciation, the Visitation, and the Nativity ending with a joyous Christmas social. During this time the youth and their parents will come to a greater understanding of Mary and her journey to becoming the Mother of God. Not only will they understand with greater appreciation all her struggles, but they will also be inspired by her joy to go forth and share the joy of Christ with others.
