Advent 2021
Advent 2021
During Advent, we explored the 4 themes (Hope, Peace, Love and Joy) in a variety of ways including listening and responding to Holy Scripture.
As a key theme this year, we focussed on how we at St Thomas' can live the Gospel Values daily;
Hope, resilience. Perseverance
Love, generosity
Non-violence, gentleness
Justice, gentleness
Forgiveness,
Compassion, kindness, service of neighbour
Simplicity, non-attachment to wealth
Humility, lack of ego, disinterest in status, dependence on God
Integrity, honesty, truth-telling
Preferential option for the lost and the least
When we displayed a particular value, adults gave us 'Advent Tokens'. These advent tokens were put into a raffle and, on the last day of term, over 15 Advent hampers were handed out! The hampers were created with staff donations.
Year 5's Advent Messages
During Advent, Year 5's Big Question was 'Is Commitment Important?'
We looked at what our mission is and how it related to the mission of the Church. As part of our mission at St Thomas' we decided to write Christmas cards to parishioners. We didn't simply wish them a merry Christmas, but really thought about the true meaning of Christmas.
