Take the Love of God with You as You Go!

Our November meeting focused on St. Agnes and the virtue of "Love of God".  The girls gathered with a coloring page of our saint and made a prayer card to add to their binders.  We used our Year One images of St. Agnes on the prayer card, along with this simple prayer in the saint's own words:

Oh, Lord,
I belong to
You
Whom the angels serve.


Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a picture of a finished prayer card, but I did get the girls coloring their St. Agnes pages.











With our virtue focus of this meeting as "Love of God", we decided that we needed to be able to take the love of God with us everywhere that we go.  We also decided that it would be nice for everyone to see that love of God.  Of course, they should be able to see it reflected in our actions, but what if everyone could actually see it? 

Because we were carrying it like a walking evangelization!

So we made:
 "Take-the-Love-of-God-with-you-as-you-go"
Tote Bags.




















The girls really enjoyed decorating the bags with glitz and glam and writing their own "sweet nothings" about their favorite guy...Jesus, of course!


And wasn't it cute when we pulled out the mini-totes to go with the big totes?



What could be hiding inside?
Mrs. A never tells...



But it's always bound to be something YUMMY!




No one was disappointed!
Are they ever?



Keep planting seeds...
