FREE - Four outdoor electric advent candles. The base of each candle is 1 inch x 4 foot circular plywood with rope carrying handles. They weigh about 50 pounds each, therefore the wind is not a factor with them. The candles are made of a sturdy 1/4"  vinyl making them quite weather proof. They are about 5 feet tall. The "flame" on each is a wire frame with white lights. The lights then fall into the center cavity which illuminates the words, Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. The verbiage is on two sides of each candle so it is visible to traffic going both directions. There is greenery that goes around both the base and the flame at the top. Please call Toby Levy, Andover United Methodist Church, Andover, KS at 316-733-1644 if interested.
