Happy New Year....church calendar....

Lexie and Pastor Stacia
Kimia and Younde practicing the beat.

The Advent Wreath
Today begins the Season of Advent and is the first day in the church calendar year.
The color of this season is purple or royal blue....hence the purple candles on the advent wreath above.
Today the first purple candle of hope was lit. The second Sunday another purple candle, the candle of Peace will be lit. The third Sunday will be the pink candle of Joy. The fourth Sunday, the last purple candle - of Love....and on Christmas eve, the white Christ candle will complete the lighting of the Advent Wreath.
It was a beautiful day and Pastor Stacia's whole family was here visiting for their American Thanksgiving celebration. Her sister Lexie, helped in the leading of worship too.
It was all good.
And now, if Saskatchewan can hold on to their Grey Cup lead.........

Hey, that's my old, ratty timpani mallet Kimia has there. I guess I should make sure I take ALL of my drum stuff from the church at some point.

We had a nice service at Faith. All the kids were up at the front when they lit the candle.
