Advent By Candlelight We are looking for ladies who are willing to host a table for Advent for Candlelight on December 8th. Hosting includes decorating a table and providing a dessert. You are welcome to invite friends and relatives to sit at your table, and others will be assigned to fill your table up. This is a wonderful way to share your love of Jesus with others. There is a sign-up sheet at both church entrances for any of our ladies and guests who would like to attend Advent by Candlelight. Please indicate on the sheet if you will host a table. The event will begin in the church basement at 2:00 p.m. with registration, meet and greet until 2:20, when dessert and coffee will be served. At 2:50 we will go to the church sanctuary where the program will take place. The program will start at 3:00 or when all are seated. Please join us! If you have a seating request or hostess preference, or any food allergies, please note that on the sign-up sheet.
