4 Page Four 4TH GRADE NEWS NOVEMBER 4th grade students love science and will be participating in their first science fair activity during December and January. Students recently completed an inquiry activity studying changes in ecosystems. We planted radish seeds in two cups: one with 10 seeds and another with 80 seeds. Students observed the cups and collected data over three weeks. Radish sprouts need a good supply of water, nutrients from the soil, and sunshine in order to thrive. Guess which radish seed cup did better? Father Stan recently conducted a teaching Mass in church just for 4th graders. We were able to tour the Sacristy, and view the alb, stole and chasubles that father wears for Mass. All students helped with readings, and four 4th graders assisted as altar servers. While saying Mass, Father Stan explained all of the prayers and rituals, and even let students sit close to the altar during the liturgy. Students grew closer to their faith and developed a deeper understanding of the Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist. Saint William School s 3rd and 4th grade soccer team, the Little Saints, took 2nd place as they wrapped up their fall soccer season. 4th graders had 14 players on the team and are excited to continue playing soccer in the spring.

7 MEDYTACJA AD IEDZIEL Ą EWA GELIĄ 3 iedziela Adwentu Co mamy czynić? 1. Głos serca. Słuchacze Jana Chrzciciela nie kierowali się tylko ciekawością, lecz czuli się poruszeni jego przepowiadaniem i świadectwem radykalnego życia. Chrzest, o który prosili, był wyrazem rozbudzonego pragnienia zmiany sposobu życia. Ich sumienia były żywym głosem serca. Stąd też płynie ich pytanie: Cóż mamy czynić? Dziś także wielu ludzi liczy się z własnym sumieniem i pragną odkrywać siebie w Jezusie Chrystusie. Są jednak również tacy, o których mówi się, że mają sumienie czyste, nie używane, którzy uważają się za bezgrzesznych, nie potrzebujących nawrócenia. 2. Prosta odpowiedź. Jan Chrzciciel adwentowy prorok, podaje określone wymagania moralne jako niezbędne warunki rozpoznania Chrystusa, który nadchodzi. Konieczne jest zatem oczyszczenie oraz zmiana sposobu patrzenia i reakcji na nowość działania Bożego. Jan nie żąda, aby szukający nawrócenia naśladowali jego styl życia. Każdy ma zostać tam mówi prorok gdzie jest, i robić to, co dotąd robił; ale ma to czynić inaczej. Celnikom poleca, aby byli uczciwi i nie bogacili się, nakładając wygórowane podatki na biedny lud. Żołnierzom mówi, aby szanowali słabych i powstrzymywali się od wszelkich form uciskania bezbronnej ludności. 3. Ratunek w Chrystusie. Wielu nam współczesnych uważa, że można odnaleźć Boga, lekceważąc Jego normy moralne. Jest jednak poważnym błędem tworzenie sobie fałszywego obrazu Boga i nieliczenie się z Jego wolą, która dla nas jest najlepsza. Pan Jezus nigdy nie obawiał się spotkania z grzesznikami. Żaden z nich nie prosi o aprobatę swego postępowania, ale odważnie pyta: Co mam czynić? Bowiem nie jest pewnym to, czy ten, kto pragnie zmienić swoje życie, chce uczynić to szczerze i trwale. Nie jest też absolutnie pewnym to, że dojrzałość wiary człowieka mierzy się ilością lat przynależności do religii i ilością praktyk religijnych, które nie prowadzą wyraźnie do wewnętrznej przemiany i zmiany złego postępowania.
