  • 2020 Advent Calendar
    2020 ADVENT CALENDAR * An Advent that Makes a Difference * * Counting Your Blessings So that You Can Bless Others * How Can Counting Your Blessings Help Others? We are blessed more than we will ever know because rarely do we pause to count the blessings. Day by day, as you follow this Advent calendar, you will be given an opportunity to count many of your blessings. But rather than leave it there, this Advent, we seek to allow our blessings to bless others. As a family, decide how much you would like to donate for each of your blessings to help the Board of World Mission provide blessings for others. You may not have some of the blessings listed for one day but be aware that you may count many blessings for other days. Find a jar to collect a penny or a nickel for each of these blessings? Perhaps you can afford to give more. If change is in short supply around your home you can use the tally card sheet found at the end of this file by making note of your blessings there. Cut the tally cards off the sheet each day, make note of your blessing, and place it in the jar. At the end of Advent, December 24, we will invite you to total up your blessing count and make that a donation to the Board of World Mission's work. We would count it a blessing to be able to share your blessings around the world. Sunday, November 29 – First Sunday of Advent • Many people are homeless and go without shelter every day.
