These pictures are from the “Journey through Advent” Sunday school youth program from Cartwright. Here in Cartwright, one of our dedicated parishioners, Wanda Cabot, invited the youth and their families to meet each week during the season of Advent to talk about hope, peace, joy, and love. We did a craft each week, and we all helped put together a large puzzle and had lunch and fellowship.
During the first week, each child was given the name of a person living in Cartwright to whom they would deliver a stocking filled with goodies. Every day when the children opened their own Advent calendars at home, they also put an item in the stocking (for example, a picture they drew, candies, a Christmas card, or other small items). These were then delivered on Christmas Eve. They did this as their Christmas outreach.
On Christmas Eve the children took part in the journey to the manger as part of the Christmas Eve service at St. Peter’s Anglican Church.
