DESCRIPTION:The Advent season starts on Dec 3 and continues for four weeks 
 ending December 24\,\n \nAdvent is the preparation for the celebration of 
 the birth of Jesus at Christmas and also the preparation for the Second Co
 ming of Christ.\nTraditionally Advent Calendars are used to count down the
  days until Christmas by receiving a special treat for each day of Advent.
 \nDuring this period of Advent our members have traditionally used Advent 
 boxes to contribute to the  community.\nOur Advent Boxes focus on giving i
 nstead of receiving\, because God gave us a wonderful gift\, Jesus Christ.
  So each day of Advent a food or personal item is placed in a box. At the 
 end of Advent our boxes are then given to Reconciliation House to help wit
 h their food distribution to families in need. \n>Advent Boxes\n1. Select 
 a sturdy box suitable to contain all your items for the Advent Box.\n2. Yo
 u 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 pla
 ce your first item into the box.  Each day of Advent November 27 thru Dece
 mber 24 place an item in the box. The completed box will have 23 items.\n5
 . 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 poss
 ible\, we hope you will add additional\, items to compensate for our endin
 g this project one week early.\n7. So we ask all Advent Boxes be brought t
 o the church by December 17 or taken to the Reconciliation House earlier.
