Sign up to Host an Advent By Candlelight Table
You should still register to host even if you do not have 7 additional ladies to invite to your personal table. There is no need to fill your entire table yourself …
If you do not invite a full table of women we will seat other attendees who register with us so everyone will have a seat to enjoy the evening.
DESSERT: You are asked to bake a dessert to serve 8-10 people. You will serve your dessert to the guests at your table. Your dessert should be placed in the kitchen and served from there after the program.
DECORATIONS: Please have your tables set and decorated by 2:30 PM which is a half hour prior to the event starting time. About 15 minutes before the event begins, fill cream and sugar bowls if you wish to serve these at your table--hot beverages will be available and provided at the kitchen, fill glasses with ice and water. We suggest you also have a filled pitcher at your table.
CANDLES: Please have your UNSCENTED candles lit at least 5 minutes before the event begins. We ask that you be very careful in lighting and extinguishing your candles. Also, caution your guests if they try to reach across the table and come near a flame. We want everyone to have a safe and glorious evening!
CHECK IN: Guests will check in with Christi in the entry way at Zion, leave their coats, get their name tags (optional) and make their way downstairs. As they enter the room, they will have the opportunity to mingle and view all the beautiful tables.
FOLLOW UP WITH GUESTS: If you desire to send follow-up letters to non-member guests, 3x5 cards will be available. Ask non-member friends to write their name, address, phone number and church home (if any) on the card. Collect these and hand them to Christi after your guests leave.
CLEAN UP: You are responsible for cleaning your table after the event. Thank you for your help in making this special evening a success all to God’s glory.
