However, the plan is to provide them as ADVENT bags to more accurately denote the season and its emphasis on preparation for what is to come. The canvas bags have already been obtained but here is a list of the types of items we will be filling them with, so you can begin your collection efforts as you are able. We will ask you to begin dropping items off at the church—labelled as ADVENT BAG ITEMS—between November 7 and November 21.
