Second Advent With CLOW

On the 2nd Sunday of Advent the CLOW children dressed up in costume to reenact the gospel.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word or CLOW is a ministry which each week “leads children to know and love Jesus through the Word of God"  said its chairperson Monica Dicom.

“On regular days the readings and gospels are just read out and the facilitator will explain the meaning to the children.

For this time of Advent the gospels are acted out by the children to make it more alive and real”.

The gospel for 2^nd Advent according to Mark begins with the appearance of John the Baptist in the desert. We are invited to reflect upon the role of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus and the salvation that he would bring to us.

The main character in the gospel is John the Baptiste and he was made up in his character dressed in animal fur resembling a character who lived off the land.

He was accompanied by two angels and a pair of ‘follower’s’ resembling the many crowd followers of John the Baptiste who were later baptized. 

For the following weeks of the 3rd and 4^th Advent the children will be acting out the gospels. Stay tuned.
