  • Canned meat
  • Ramen noodles
  • Instant oatmeal
  • Cereal
  • Peanut butter

November 30

Ladies, come gather for a peaceful and uplifting evening to prepare your heart for the season of Advent.

Advent by Candlelight is a special event for women of all ages featuring beautiful music, warm fellowship, and delicious desserts, all in a candlelit setting that points us to the true light of Christmas: Jesus Christ.

Invite a friend, bring your small group, or come to connect with other women in our church and community.

We are looking for volunteers to help organize and set up for our upcoming Advent by Candlelight event. If you enjoy decorating, planning, or lending a hand, we’d love your help in making this evening beautiful and meaningful for our congregation.

If you are able to assist, please contact Bonnie, 608-617-1180, for more details.
