Here is a gift from the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship to start your Advent!

This year as Advent arrives, PPF is feeling into our own new beginning as we start to live into our new vision statement and explore new leadership as an organization. With each new beginning comes a flurry of emotions ranging from uncertainty to excitement. We have been feeling for the way together this season, and we know that the beauty of the darkness of this season supports us, as we incubate our imagination and prepare ourselves for the way ahead. As we anchor our work in abolition we are exploring how what we do is informed by both the tearing down of systems that perpetuate domination and the building up of new practices and communities that shape our world toward more compassion, interdependence, and love. This Advent we'll explore how our work in gun violence prevention, anti-war movements and our fossil free commitments intersect with the framework of abolition, and we invite you to make a contribution toward the journey ahead. Here are a few ways you can tune in!:

Advent Calendar We have a digital Advent calendar with daily reflections and offerings to accompany us in our waiting. You can find the calendar on both our facebook page and our instagram page. Check out Timothy's gift to us to kick off our season together! Thank you to the many people who have contributed to make this possible.

Play Bingo! If you receive our USPS mailings then you have likely already received our Advent Bingo card in the mail. If not you can print your own here. We invite you to fill out your Bingo card. The first 15 people who fill out 15 squares will receive some Fossil Free PCUSA swag! You can let us know you've got BINGO! by taking a picture of your filled out card and sending it to: christa@presbypeacefellowship.org

Join the Call Team This Advent we will gather on December 13th at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 5pm PT to do some fundraising calls on behalf of PPF. There will be a little fun along the way (and maybe a little bingo!) Let us know if you can donate 1 hour to make fundraising calls to support our work in 2023.
