Advent by Candlelight is a wonderful way for women to connect with each other and focus on their Savior during a season that can easily pull focus elsewhere. Without being able to physically gather together this year plan B is to still connect with the ladies in our church and community by delivering "Advent by Candlelight baskets." Ladies can then choose a time that works in their schedule to sit down with the in- cluded devotion, music CD and other treats and have their own personal Advent by Candlelight. Here’s how it works: Baskets are assembled by the church with a few things provided including, the basket, devotion ma- terials, a CD with music and a candle. (For those that perfer, the music will also be accessible online) You can sign up to recieve a basket or sign up to be a basket host (like hosting a table in past years) Basket Hosts: -Pick the number of baskets you want to distribute. (you can have names in mind of people you want to deliver to or choose names from the general list) - Add any other treats, beverages, etc. to your basket that you want (like you would if you hosted a table) - Deliver your baskets by December 13 - You will also get a basket for yourself Sign up to receive a basket or host baskets online at christthelord.net/advent-by-candlelight Or on the sign up sheet on the counter
