The Third Sunday of Advent is known as
Gaudete Sunday and and emphasizes the joyous
anticipation of the Lord's coming. The rose-colored candle on the wreath is lighted and small pink roses were added to the front arrangement.
The Flower Guild of St. Joseph Catholic Church--Gluckstadt, Mississippi was organized in the Summer of 2009. Previously, flowers had been arranged by church members from time to time, with occasional donated floral memorials, usually made by a local florist. Flower Guild members are volunteers who create floral arrangements to the Glory of God, which remind us of the wonder of the natural world He created. The Guild uses wildflowers and objects of nature whenever possible.
