Today we carried out our own in-class Advent Prayer Service. We listened to “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”.

We asked ourselves how we would welcome other people into our home/school/church:

Show them around our church – Lillian

Be friends with them – Juhaina

Praise people for coming – Alicia

Help them if they are hurt – Mohammed Arga

Share with them – Bright

Make them happy Emmanuel

Play with them – Malick

Cheer them up – Ashraf

Give them faith and hope – Jannat

Ask them if they need anything – Hasham

Say hello and make food for them – Rukayya

Come Lord, come again 

Come Lord, your wounded world is yearning 
for you to come again. 
Come Lord, your weary world is crying out 
for you to lift us up 
out of our despair, our hunger, 
our thirst for something better, 
our need for the food that will last. 
Come Lord, come again, 
we need to begin again.
