Journey participates in Advent Conspiracy


We talked last Sunday about ways that we could live out the meaning of Christmas with our actions this season. Advent conspiracy is a unique way to look at it.

Why spend money on things they don't need or don't want?
Why get stressed about money and shopping this year?
We think there must be a better way, so here are some things Journey is doing to spread the love...

-We encourage you to re-evaluate how you spend Christmas individually, as a family, and as a community.

-Below are some links to great organizations you can give to if you spend less on Christmas - or - if you want to give a gift to someone as a donation to one of the organizations.

-Think of creative ways to give the gift of 'presence'.

-Join Journey as a community as we work together to reach our goal of raising enough money to help one family for one year (details on whether this will be done through Heifer international or The Well community to be announced next Sunday at Journey)

Some Links:

Living Water International

Kiva
Heifer
Trade as One

If you need some others ideas you can check out the Advent Conspiracy site.
