'Tis the Season of Advent
The student council at St. John the Baptist School in Johnsburg leads students in a special prayer service at the beginning of each week in Advent. As shown here, they make use of an Advent wreath, here lighting one candle in the first week of Advent.
Watch special Advent pages in The Observer this month for reflections, prayers and other ideas to help you step back from Christmas preparations and make this Advent more meaningful.
