Over the past month or so, we've been considering ways that we might rethink Christmas in order to worship fully, spend less, give more and love all. One way that you and your family might consider doing that is to use a portion of what you would have spent on Christmas gifts to help provide for other significant needs in Stoughton and around the world. Some families are spending less money on Christmas gifts, and giving more of their time and relational energy: the gift of presence.
If you'd like to conspire with us and give financially toward meeting the needs of the world around us, you can do so this coming Sunday or the next (Dec 14 or 21) by putting your donation in the Joy Box at our gathering, or mailing your donation to watershed at 808 Valley View Drive, Stoughton, WI 53589. Checks can be made out to watershed, and please include a note that it's for Advent Conspiracy, and we'll be sure to get it to the right place.
The watershed family will be using the money collected to support the work of Possibilities Africa and providing direct help (food, transportation, heat) to those in need in the Stoughton community.
We'll be sure to let you know more about what happens through our conspiracy to rethink Christmas and join God's work in the world.
