Advent by Candelight
Sunday Dec 10, 2017 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Ladies, would you like to spend an evening with old friends and new in a lovely candlelit atmosphere, with fine china, delicious appetizers, and elegant desserts? Do you have a new dessert or appetizer recipe you’d like to try? Or an old favorite you’d like to share? Do you enjoy decorating for the holidays? If you answered ’yes’ to any of these, you’ll be interested in this year’s ‘Advent by Candlelight’ event that is planned for women of all ages. The reflection at this year’s event will be given by Sister Anna Phiri, OSF of St Mary’s Hospital. If you are interested in decorating a table with your fine china and Advent/Christmas decorations or simply making a reservation to attend, please contact Marcia Comerford at 454-7220 or marciakc12@sbcglobal.net. If you are interested in providing an appetizer or dessert, please contact Linda O’Brien at 429-7146 or linda.ellen40@aP.net.
