Advent Spiral

We are looking forward to the very special festival that we call the
Advent Spiral, that is happening this Sunday November 27th at the
Glenelg Town Hall.

What is it all about – what can you expect?

We meet outside at 5:45 and huddle in the very small foyer to keep
warm. Soon after, Tony Masset, who has been leading this event for
many years, lets us all know that it is time to enter. This is the
time to shift into the quiet nature of this festival.

Throughout the evening, there is alternating singing and recorder
playing as children are individually led by an angel to journey the
spiral of evergreen boughs, find the light and carry it safely to
designated place on the spiral. This is a special festival as we
enter the time of year where short days and long nights can carry us
to a quiet place within. Let the beauty of the evening fill your
senses.
Although there is no specific age or grade limit we ask that everybody
remember the reverent quiet nature of this special festival.
For safety, we ask that the children not wear long or gauzy dresses.

At the end of the evening, families wait outside or in the foyer to
receive a candle and apple holder to bring home.

Depending on the number of children that go through, we are usually
done the evening by 7:30.

The Glenelg Town Hall is at the corner of Concession 4 and Baptist Church RD.
We meet at 5:45 and start at 6pm.
