Self-Sustaining Advent Calendar
Celebrate Advent and Christmas with Earth Ministry while treading lightly upon the Earth!
Our greatest source of celebration and comfort during Advent is family and friends. Yet, we often let consumerism control our Christmas. The shopping that wears us out also wears upon the Earth. Spending time with loved ones and nature is a healthier way to rejoice both for the environment and ourselves.
We hope that the calendar will remind you and your congregations to take time this season to truly celebrate and reflect upon the greatest gifts in our lives.
The Self-Sustaining Advent Calendar suggestions include:
- Go on a hike, and then enjoy a cup of hot cocoa when you return.
- Keep warm by snuggling up in a blanket. Turn your thermostat down an additional degree.
- Wrap your gifts in newspaper, bus schedules, outdated maps, or paper bags. Be creative!
