Oma and Joe hosted the first get together at Joseph Creek Village ...
lighting a candle on the Advent Wreath ...
Each Sunday leading up to Christmas ... another group hosted a get together ...

(The Advent wreath, or Advent crown, is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks of Advent in the liturgical calendar of the Western church. The Advent Wreath is traditionally a Lutheran practice, although it has spread to many other Christian denominations.)
