The Advent Conspiracy...Week 1

Today, Jason began talking about the Advent Conspiracy to get us thinking before we reach Black Friday and any craziness we may find ourselves a part of during the Christmas "shopping season." The Advent Conspiracy invites us to:

Worship Fully
Spend Less
Give More
Love All

So what is the conspiracy? In Matthew 1:18-25 we read how God gave His son who was called "Immanuel" which means "God with us." So God really sent us a relationship, His presence. In the Advent Conspiracy, we are asked to think about how we can give ourselves relationally like God did.

Question of the Week: What relational gifts can I give this year?

For starters, we as a church have a great opportunity to give of ourselves at the Coit Christmas Sing on Dec. 16 or the Community Service Project on Dec. 28. It has become apparent that the Coit community has need of some of the gifts we have to offer, so let's give the gift of MCC's "presence" in the community.
