3 To prepare for Thanksgiving, the Pre-Kindergarten class made stuffed paper bag turkeys. Grace Doucette Shows off the turkey she made. First grade is learning about what a habitat is and about different types of habitats. One habitat they are learning about is the desert habitat. They have had a chance to see a real cactus and read about the saguaro cactus and all the animals that live in the cactus. They also saw some pictures of some desert animals like the javelin, which is similar to a wild pig, which lives in Arizona. Congratulations to the student in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades who made the honor roll this quarter. Alyssa Epps gets the beaded legs for her turkey from Mrs. Janney.

4 PERSEVERE IN OUR DAILY WORK In our world and culture, where hard work is valued so much (we even give over a whole day on the civic calendar to celebrate labor) and our busyness seems to escalate continually, Paul s admonitions to the Thessalonians seem a bit obvious. But even in our lives today, when we have more and more devices to save time, and still seem to have less and less of it, people yet find ways to be busybodies in the midst of all their busy-ness. In Paul s day, some members of the Christian community were being idle because they knew the Lord was returning in glory very soon. Why bother to work? So they turned their attention to meddling in the lives of others. Theirs was a rather complacent I ve been saved attitude in the face of the great tumult of the end times described by Malachi and Jesus in the Gospel. These days, we have no such potent notion of the Lord s imminent return, but Paul s message, which has an echo both in Malachi and Luke, is still pertinent for us. We must keep on doing our daily work, and persevere in it, consecrate it all to the Lord, and tend to being faithful until the time of his return. MOM S NIGHT OUT Come, join with others for a time of peace and quiet, a time of prayer, reflection, conversation you and God time on Tuesday, November 16th, at 7:00 pm in the Religious Education Office.
