This is my first year in a parish, and I ran across the Advent Conspiracy website with very little time to prepare. The leadership pulled together, however, and we were able to present the call to live a more simple Christmas season all four advent Sundays. On Christmas Day we held a single offering to be given to the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee to purchase wells for communities that do not have access to clean drinking water ($250 buys one well). Our church of 220 active members raised just over $50,000. God is good.
