What will YOU do?

One of the big reasons EGR decided to make Advent Conspiracy the practice we would engage in fully this year, was because of exactly who [AC] is and who EGR is.

There is no one size fits all program or idea; each person, congregation, diocese is FILLED, brimming with bright ideas and imagination. EGR has been and will continue to be about encouraging and unleashing that imagination—sharing the resources and ideas that is happening locally to make a difference on a GLOBAL, Kingdom sized scale.

To participate, we are asking you to do 3 things:

1. Sign up. Join with us in this crazy counter-intuitive, counter-cultural Advent(ure). Sign up here with your name, church, and contact info. Then head over to www.adventconspiracy.org and sign up there as well.
2. Pick a project and share your story: You’ll notice on the Advent Conspiracy site, there are lots of people sharing their stories—big and small—of how participating has changed how they “do” Christmas, and how it is changing not only the community they are a part of, but how it is blessing people all around the world, particularly the world’s “bottom billion”—the nearly one billion left behind by global economic growth, often defined by those who live on incomes of less than $1 a day. We only ask that the project you pick works towards one of the 8 Millennium Development Goals.
3. Pray: EGR is a community of people, joined together first and foremost as a people of prayer. Commit to praying with us this Advent. We will offer some prayers and meditations, and hope that you will share yours with us. We will be using Facebook and Twitter to then share our prayers with the world.

Thanks for joining us in this Holy Advent(ure)!
