• Advent Conspiracy

    November 29, 2008

    I am really proud to be part of a church that is participating in Advent Conspiracy this holiday season.  We have been talking and praying as a community about rethinking gift giving, generosity, and remembering the poor.  Here’s a short promo video for the movement.

    And here’s something a few folks from Living Hope put together for our community.

    Especially in light of tragedies like this, I think scaling back our spending and consumption and asking God to help us remember the poor and oppressed is perhaps the best possible way us to celebrate the advent of the Savior of the world.

    Living Hope shared some of their Advent Conspiracy materials with my church, Neighborhood Church. We were most appreciative. The books were a nice addition to our launch service last week. Thanks for being generous!

    Hey, what’s a Christian conspiracy without a little generosity right?!
