DESCRIPTION:p>The Advent season starts on Dec 3 and continues for four week
 s ending December 24\,\n \nAdvent is the preparation for the celebration o
 f the birth of Jesus at Christmas and also the preparation for the Second 
 Coming of Christ.\nTraditionally Advent Calendars are used to count down t
 he days until Christmas by receiving a special treat for each day of Adven
 t.\nDuring this period of Advent our members have traditionally used Adven
 t boxes to contribute to the  community.\nOur Advent Boxes focus on giving
  instead of receiving\, because God gave us a wonderful gift\, Jesus Chris
 t. So each day of Advent a food or personal item is placed in a box. At th
 e end of Advent our boxes are then given to Reconciliation House to help w
 ith their food distribution to families in need. \n>Advent Boxes\n1. Selec
 t a sturdy box suitable to contain all your items for the Advent Box.\n2. 
 You may want to cover your box with wrapping paper to make it more festive
 .\n3. Tape the picture of the Advent Wreath on the front of the box. Color
  the picture if you wish.\n4. On the first day of Advent\,  November 27 pl
 ace your first item into the box.  Each day of Advent November 27 thru Dec
 ember 24 place an item in the box. The completed box will have 23 items.\n
 5. We will need to get the Advent Boxes to the Reconciliation House before
  Advent ends\, so the items can be distributed to their clients\n6. If pos
 sible\, we hope you will add additional\, items to compensate for our endi
 ng this project one week early.\n7. So we ask all Advent Boxes be brought 
 to the church by December 17 or taken to the Reconciliation House earlier.
