Advent by Candlelight is a beloved annual tradition inviting women to step away from the busyness of the season and enter into a space of peace, prayer, and preparation. Before the Christmas rush begins, come be renewed through fellowship, worship, and reflection.
This year’s theme, The Gift of Greccio, invites us to reflect on the wonder of the Nativity through the eyes of St. Francis of Assisi. At Greccio, St. Francis created the first living Nativity scene, helping others encounter the humility, simplicity, and overwhelming love of Christ’s birth in a new and profound way.
Together, we will prepare our hearts to receive the greatest gift ever given, Jesus Christ, and rediscover the beauty of Christmas with renewed wonder, gratitude, and joy.
