Advent Conspiracy

At Brooklife on November 29, we will be starting a series called Advent Conspiracy.  You can read more about this movement at www.adventconspiracy.org. 

Christmas can still change the world

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

Welcome to Advent Conspiracy.

The Giving Tree

We are partnering with the Waukesha County Jail to provide Christmas gifts for the children of prisoners who enter the prison too late to qualify for the official Angel Tree program through Prison Fellowship.  This will also be part of our Advent Conspiracy series at Brooklife which starts on November 29.  Here's how you can get involved with our team:

• Administrative Support (weekdays)
• Phone Calls
• Setup - November 29 and December 6
• Gift Bagging - December 15
• Gift Delivery - December 17-24

The Giving Tree will be setup on November 29 and December 6.  The names of children with their gift requests  can be picked up at this time.  For more information or to sign up, contact Heather at hwebb@brooklife.org
