A Voice in the Wilderness

Shhh! It's a conspiracy!

I’d like to invite you to join a conspiracy.

No… we’re not talking about overthrowing the government…or political cover ups…or some global organization.

I'm talking about the Advent Conspiracy.

This conspiracy is all about a plan to celebrate Christmas!

What started with a few (3) churches over a dozen years ago has grown into a worldwide movement.

“Advent Conspiracy is about the entire body of Christ at work in the world. As we worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all, something begins to happen that is greater than any single person, church, or denomination. As the Church, we are telling the story of Jesus to the watching world.” (https://adventconspiracy.org/about/)

What if we conspired together to celebrate Christmas by spending a bit of time each week exploring  what it means to “worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all?”

Yes, there is a book. You can order it here.

Yes, there will be a short video each week. You can watch an introductory video here.

A four week Advent study with lasting implications.

So…will you conspire with me? 

No code words or secret hand shakes required.

Just a desire to share the story of Jesus with the world!

Blessings,

Matthew+

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.  BCP p. 236
