Overall term journey: BELONGING → LOVING → GROWING → GIVING → REMEMBERING → CELEBRATING
September – Belonging: God is with us; we have friends; we are neighbours; God knows and loves us.
October – Living God's way: We can make a difference; we can pray; we don't need to be afraid; we are called to love.
November – Becoming people of love: Saints show us what love looks like; we remember those who have suffered; we discover our gifts and learn gratitude.
December – The light of Christ: We move from thanksgiving into Advent and Christmas: Christ, the Light of the World, comes among us.
