Brentwood has joined the Advent Conspiracy. How are you conspiring to demonstrate the values that Jesus taught us?
Some ideas to consider:
- Take the money you would normally spend on gifts and donate it to the Heifer Project in the name of your friends and family members. Brentwood youth have a booth set up at church to help you do this.
- Feed a child in Nicaragua for three months simply by purchasing a “Cookie in a Jar” gift for just $8. See the cookie jars set up just outside the sanctuary.
- Give your friends or family members a one-of-a-kind handmade Advent Devotional Book prepared by Eleanor Carty. All proceeds benefit the Rainbow Network.
- Join the Wednesday evening study of “The First Christmas: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus’ Birth” to learn what the subversive message of Christmas meant within the context of the Roaman Empire–and what it might mean in today’s culture.
