Christmas Liturgy – Lighting the Way This Advent

Our school’s Christmas Liturgy this year is focusing on the theme Lighting the Way This Advent, exploring how we can bring peace, hope, and goodness into the world. In the weeks leading up to Advent, each form class decorated their own lantern—beautiful symbols of guidance and warmth. On these lanterns, students wrote personal pledges, reflecting on the ways they hope to ‘light the world’ this season: through kindness, patience, generosity, forgiveness, and small acts that lift others up.

As we gathered for the liturgy, we reflected on the image of light in scripture—the light that guided the shepherds, the star that led the Magi, and the Light of Christ who entered the world at Christmas. We heard again the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey, illuminated by their faith and trust in God. Mary’s courage, Joseph’s steadfastness, and the guiding star reminded us that even in times of uncertainty, God provides a light to lead us forward.

The liturgy featured thoughtful scripture readings from our Goals Ambassadors and a moving performance from the signing choir, whose expressive interpretation brought the Advent message to life.

From the Ethos Team, we wish everyone a Happy and Holy Christmas.
