conspire!!!
Sojourn is undertaking a major project city wide this month. Two weeks ago we began to brainstorm ideas for Advent Conspiracy (thinking about alternative ways to celebrate Christmas by worshipping fully, giving more, spending less, and loving all: advent conspiracy).
The result of that brainstorm has led us to partner with Adoption and Foster Care Mentoring, an organization we appreciate and have relational ties to (CJ, one of their directors is a good friend).
AFC has been named one of Boston’s Outstanding Non-Profits of 2010 and will be honored in a ceremony at the Prudential Center (a major downtown Boston locale) on December 7th. Sojourn is joining with AFC to create a Christmas experience for the mentors and mentees that they will never forget.
Obviously, this is a great opportunity for us to bless this organization that is doing some amazing work with kids in our city (the need for foster care mentoring is staggering! check out their page). Moreover, this is a galvanizing moment for us as we get to conspire, dream, and tell a better story this Christmas season.
We’d also like to invite you guys in to the story as well. We have created a facebook cause page which you can find here: http://www.causes.com/causes/548375). The best way to participate is to (a) join the cause and show your support of our students, (b) make a small donation to the cause (i would suggest $5-$20…a few less trips to starbucks or one less meal out in the next two weeks can make a huge difference). Donations all go straight to our project budget…the money will be spent on food for the event and gifts for the mentors and mentees (Celtics tickets!).
So, join the cause, spread the word, participate in the story, and help Sojourn Conspire for the Kingdom this Advent.
