Waiting and Preparing for Peace

For each of the Sundays of advent, MJ and Jerry have invited a different family to their Oasis home to help them light the advent candles. Because advent is a season of waiting and preparing, these Sunday gatherings are spent in the spirit of waiting and preparing for peace. This past Sunday, the Gunn family joined MJ and Jerry to rejoice for Gaudete Sunday! The Gunns brought their two newest joys, two little boys who are temporarily staying with them until they find a permanent foster home. The entire group enjoyed putting together a peace train in the Mother Theresa room and playing and learning in the MLK library. They also made use of the library for sharing in a peace circle and lighting the advent calendar for joy.
