Our annual Advent Wreath-Making event is returning to the Sunday School hour (11:15 - 12:00) on the first Sunday of Advent. Please come join us as we begin the season of preparation for the birth of our Lord in this traditional, meaningful way. We will have a craft available for younger children, as well.
Please contact the office or sign up in the Parish Hall to let us know that your family is planning on making a wreath so that we have enough materials on hand.
We also need assistance gathering the fresh greenery used in making the wreaths. The traditional, and symbolic greenery used include evergreens (pine, cedar and fir), bay laurel, rosemary, ivy and holly. If you are able to provide any of these, please contact Stefani Carroll.
Advent candles will be available for purchase on this date to complete your wreath. We will also have instructional literature which offers Advent prayers and devotionals to enhance the season for your family.
