On Saturday, December 12, 2009, we had our annual Dessert By Candlelight event! This was our 9th year hosting the event and we had a great turn out, despite the rain outside. We didn’t let it dampen our spirits inside!
For those of you who have never attended DBC, it is a special event that Women of Hope puts together each year, on the 2nd Saturday in December. It is a ladies night out from the hustle and bustle of the season where you can enjoy rich dessert, laughter, and a concert in a candlelit setting!
We had some great desserts this year: Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Cheesecake and Tiramisu! They were all “Mm, mm, Good!”
We invited Pastor Ronny Mills to come and minister to us through his music. He gave us his testimony and performed some worship songs and some songs of the season. It was such a blessing to have him a part of DBC!
Along with our musical guest, we had a gift basket raffle! Each year we sell raffle tickets to our guests for a chance to win a beautiful gift basket, donated by the women of our congregation. In fact, Ginger said it seems like this year’s gift basket raffle may have been the biggest one yet!
If you’ve never attended Dessert By Candlelight, you’re missing out! I would definitely recommend coming to the next one! You will be blessed in so many different ways!
Some reviews:
“I enjoyed it! I really liked the spiritual atmosphere. I liked the whole concept of the desserts, speaker, entertainment, & basket raffle! I liked the way they put everything together!”
“I really liked the intimate fellowship! It really did feel like having ‘dessert by candlelight!’ I loved the variation of desserts. The atmosphere felt like a warm, calming presence. I really enjoyed Ronny Mills and how he ushered in the Spirit of the Lord – beautiful!”
