Countdown to Advent

Advent begins this Sunday, November 29, kicking off a season of anticipation as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our King. Within our Blackhawk community, we hope you’ll engage in this season in new ways – Advent Conspiracy style. This blog is full of resources, from a guide to spending less and a list of creative ways to give more.

And beginning this Sunday, you can visit this blog each day to read reflections on the season written by people in our church. This daily prayer guide will be available as a PDF at the beginning of each week so you can print it out as well.

This Sunday will also kick off our Advent Conspiracy message series on Worshiping Fully, Spending Less, Loving All and Giving More. On Sunday, December 13, we’ll be taking up the Love All offering, sending our combined resources to Romania, Honduras and Kenya to provide clean water and wheelchairs to those who need it most.

We’re excited to celebrate the season together and look forward to seeing what God will do in and through us this Christmas.

Water and Wheelchairs

This Christmas, as we dream about what’s possible when Christ followers choose to worship fully, spend less, give more and love all, we invite you to consider how your celebration might affect others around the globe.

Love All Offering

On Sunday, December 13 during services, we'll take up an Advent Conspiracy offering (a direct result of spending less) to give towards clean water projects and wheelchair needs in Honduras, Kenya and Romania. If you won’t be able to join us at services on that day but still want to participate, just write ‘Advent” in the memo of your check and drop it in any of the offering boxes.
