Advent by Candlelight

Last night was Advent by Candlelight, an event put on by the Women's Ministry at our church.  It's a time of fellowship and reflection with dinner, dessert, music and readings.  This year, Janice and her friend, Amorita paired up to host a table.  They came up with the theme of "Make new friends, but keep the old; One is silver and the other, gold."  The table was decorated in  silver and gold.

 

Janice received quite a few compliments on her napkin folding and even demonstrated how easy they were to fold.  She found the idea on Pinterest.

Part of the table decorations were two large angels and seven small ones that were painted silver.  The small ones went home with the guests.  The big ones are the same design.

The Women's Choir, the Hand Bell Choir and two violinists provided the music and several readers reminded us of the various names of Jesus.  The lights are turned off during the program so it's done by candlelight.

After dinner, the program and dessert, there was more time for fellowship and picture taking.

And where was Kyleigh during all this?  She was in the Nursery eating pizza and waiting for Devin to pick her up after he got off work.  Next year, she'll be old enough to attend also.  And, Janice and Amorita are already planning next year's table decorations--somebody said something about a Disney theme!
