Mary Catherine lit the first Candle of Advent today at Effingham Presbyterian Church. This was the Hope candle (the right, back purple candle). While we were lighting the candle Daddy read about the candle and this is what he said "We light this candle as a symbol of Expectation. May the light sent from God shine in the darkness to show us the Way to salvation. O Come, O Come, Emmauuel!" Mommy assisted Mary Catherine with the candle lighting. Mary Catherine is enjoying learning about advent this year. She has a little book called "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" that she got at All Saints school. We will read about one part of Advent each day and attach a new Advent sticker each day until Christmas.
